Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Floating Dancer by Sarah Jackson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 250.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 1,260.00 (€ 1,072.98). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sarah Jackson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dancer in April 2020 with an auction result of USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,102.69).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Floating Dancer von Sarah Jackson im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 250,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.260,00 (€ 1.072,98) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sarah Jackson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dancer im April 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 27.500,00 (€ 25.102,69).
