Artwork auctioned at 50 times the upper estimate price
When the work Watching Woman by Sarah Jackson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 50 times as high at USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,739.94). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Sarah Jackson; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Dancer sold at auction in April 2020 with the realized price of USD 27,500.00 (€ 25,102.69).
Kunstwerk zum 50-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Watching Woman von Sarah Jackson im Juli 2020 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 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.739,94) mehr als 50-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Sarah Jackson; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Dancer im April 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 27.500,00 (€ 25.102,69).
