Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Mappemonde 2 (thursday) by Adel Abdessemed was auctioned at Phillips in New York in December 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 37,800.00 (€ 30,907.60). Admittedly, works by Adel Abdessemed have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Klan in October 2014 with an auction result of GBP 206,500.00 (€ 263,670.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Mappemonde 2 (thursday) von Adel Abdessemed im Dezember 2020 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 37.800,00 (€ 30.907,60) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Adel Abdessemed auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Klan im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 206.500,00 (€ 263.670,67).
