Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session, which included the work Figure in Orange by William Baziotes. The »bidding war« ended at USD 72,500.00 (€ 65,795.44), 21% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Baziotes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Phantasm in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 1,332,500.00 (€ 1,119,936.12).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figure in Orange von William Baziotes zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 72.500,00 (€ 65.795,44) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Baziotes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Phantasm im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.332.500,00 (€ 1.119.936,12).
