Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Nutsy's Deluxe Racing Set by Tom Sachs was worth USD 1,524.00 (€ 1,380.43) to a buyer in April this year. This price was achieved in the auction Editions & Works on Paper at Phillips in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 500.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tom Sachs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tiffany Value Meal in May last year with an auction result of USD 302,400.00 (€ 281,800.39).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Nutsy's Deluxe Racing Set von Tom Sachs war einem Käufer im April diesen Jahres USD 1.524,00 (€ 1.380,43) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 500,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tom Sachs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tiffany Value Meal im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 302.400,00 (€ 281.800,39).
