A top price for William Anastasi
When the work Untitled III (Abandoned Painting) by William Anastasi was auctioned at Phillips in New York in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 40,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 242,500.00 (€ 186,023.32). This high result makes Untitled III (Abandoned Painting) the most expensive artwork by William Anastasi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für William Anastasi
Als die Arbeit Untitled III (Abandoned Painting) von William Anastasi im November 2010 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 40.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 242.500,00 (€ 186.023,32) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled III (Abandoned Painting) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von William Anastasi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
