Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Higher And Higher by Walter Barker was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 350.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 1,375.00 (€ 1,255.13). Admittedly, works by Walter Barker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Venice in April 2020 with an auction result of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,416.70).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Higher And Higher von Walter Barker im April 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 350,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.375,00 (€ 1.255,13) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Walter Barker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Venice im April 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.416,70).
