Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year Christies in Brussels held the auction First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online, which included the work Of the Blues (Second Chorus): New Orleans: Storeyville: Professor by Romare Bearden. The price achieved of GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,574.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Romare Bearden achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Street in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,109,000.00 (€ 982,546.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Christies in Brüssel die Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Of the Blues (Second Chorus): New Orleans: Storeyville: Professor von Romare Bearden zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.080,00 (€ 11.574,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Romare Bearden erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Street im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.109.000,00 (€ 982.546,29).
