A top price for Sam Middleton - as previously expected

The work Jazz on Easter Sunday by Sam Middleton was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session auction at Phillips in New York in November 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,455.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Jazz on Easter Sunday is the most expensive artwork by Sam Middleton that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Jazz on Easter Sunday von Sam Middleton wurde im November 2018 in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.455,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Jazz on Easter Sunday das teuerste Kunstwerk von Sam Middleton, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
