Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Will Cotton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 6,000.00 (€ 5,343.78). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Will Cotton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Taffy Forest in September 2012 with an auction result of USD 272,500.00 (€ 211,963.29).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Will Cotton im März 2019 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 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.000,00 (€ 5.343,78) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Will Cotton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Taffy Forest im September 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 272.500,00 (€ 211.963,29).
