A top price for Tuna Iquliq - as previously expected

In August 2021 Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Modern Native American ArtFeaturing the Wendy and Les Fisher Collection of Canadian Inuit Sculpture, which included the work A Tuna Iquliq Sculpture by Tuna Iquliq. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of USD 828.75 (€ 702.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Tuna Iquliq Sculpture is the most expensive artwork by Tuna Iquliq that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im August 2021 führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Modern Native American ArtFeaturing the Wendy and Les Fisher Collection of Canadian Inuit Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Tuna Iquliq Sculpture von Tuna Iquliq zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 828,75 (€ 702,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Tuna Iquliq Sculpture das teuerste Kunstwerk von Tuna Iquliq, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
