Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Study for Okeanos by William Tucker was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,008.00 (€ 858.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Tucker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beulah Xii in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,911.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Study for Okeanos von William Tucker kam im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.008,00 (€ 858,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Tucker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beulah Xii im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.911,39).
