Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2017 Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work We Are Here To Stay by Shay Kun. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,569.93) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shay Kun - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Naked In Death, which sold at auction in March 2015 for USD 28,125.00 (€ 26,184.71).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit We Are Here To Stay von Shay Kun zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.569,93) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Shay Kun mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Naked In Death beobachtet, die im März 2015 für USD 28.125,00 (€ 26.184,71) versteigert wurde.
