Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Salman Toor was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 250,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 819,000.00 (€ 763,209.39). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Salman Toor; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot 4 Guests sold at auction in November last year with the realized price of USD 856,800.00 (€ 829,991.28).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Salman Toor im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 250.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 819.000,00 (€ 763.209,39) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Salman Toor; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit 4 Guests im November letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 856.800,00 (€ 829.991,28).
