Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Western Sunset by Sue Williams. The price achieved of USD 56,700.00 (€ 46,498.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sue Williams - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work New Yellow and Orange, which sold at auction in September this year for USD 127,000.00 (€ 119,992.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Western Sunset von Sue Williams zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 56.700,00 (€ 46.498,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Sue Williams mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit New Yellow and Orange beobachtet, die im September diesen Jahres für USD 127.000,00 (€ 119.992,44) versteigert wurde.
