Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Wallace Berman was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 43,750.00 (€ 41,422.08) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Wallace Berman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Radio/Aether, 1966 in September last year with an auction result of USD 164,175.00 (€ 167,816.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Wallace Berman wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 41.422,08) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wallace Berman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Radio/Aether, 1966 im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 164.175,00 (€ 167.816,62).
