Artwork auctioned at 21 times the upper estimate price
When the work Green Storm by Walter Barker 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 250.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 21 times as high at USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,458.98). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Walter Barker; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Venice sold at auction in April 2020 with the realized price of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,416.70).
Kunstwerk zum 21-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Green Storm von Walter Barker 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 250,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.458,98) mehr als 21-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Walter Barker; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Venice im April 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.416,70).
