Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by William Edmondson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2019. In the Outsider and Vernacular Art auction, the work Lady, 1930s sold for USD 237,500.00 (€ 207,351.14) - well above the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Edmondson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boxer, Circa 1936, which sold at auction in January 2016 for USD 785,000.00 (€ 724,704.58).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Edmondson erzielte im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Outsider and Vernacular Art wurde die Arbeit Lady, 1930s für USD 237.500,00 (€ 207.351,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Edmondson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Boxer, Circa 1936 beobachtet, die im Januar 2016 für USD 785.000,00 (€ 724.704,58) versteigert wurde.
