Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Willie Bester achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in September 2011. In the The Jan & Monique des Bouvrie Collection auction, the work Elections '96 sold for EUR 5,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 2,000.00. Admittedly, works by Willie Bester have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work What Happened In The Western Cape? in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,598.03).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Willie Bester erzielte im September 2011 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Jan & Monique des Bouvrie Collection wurde die Arbeit Elections '96 für EUR 5.000,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 2.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Willie Bester auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit What Happened In The Western Cape? im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 23.598,03).
