Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work String Composition No. 821 by Sue Fuller 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 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,431.63). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Sue Fuller; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot String Composition Prism, No. 830 sold at auction in October 2020 with the realized price of USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,113.68).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit String Composition No. 821 von Sue Fuller 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 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.431,63) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Sue Fuller; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit String Composition Prism, No. 830 im Oktober 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.113,68).
