The work Sphynx by William Baziotes was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in March this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 100,800.00 (€ 92,715.23), 44% 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 um 44 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Sphynx von William Baziotes wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 100.800,00 (€ 92.715,23) und damit 44% 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).
