Sold at the upper estimate price

The work A Couple Outside by Zwelethu Mthethwa was auctioned at Phillips in New York in May 2010. The auction ended at the price of USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,021.18), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 1,800.00 – 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zwelethu Mthethwa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled from Sugar Cane Series in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 27,500.00 (€ 22,233.00).

Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit A Couple Outside von Zwelethu Mthethwa kam im Mai 2010 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 2.500,00 (€ 2.021,18) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.800,00 – 2.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zwelethu Mthethwa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled from Sugar Cane Series im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 27.500,00 (€ 22.233,00).
