In March 2011 Christies in New York held the auction First Open Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work The Wave by April Gornik. The »bidding war« ended at USD 30,000.00 (€ 21,152.08), 67% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by April Gornik - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Delicate Hour (For My Father), which sold at auction in March this year for USD 75,600.00 (€ 69,536.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im März 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Wave von April Gornik zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 21.152,08) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von April Gornik mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Delicate Hour (For My Father) beobachtet, die im März diesen Jahres für USD 75.600,00 (€ 69.536,42) versteigert wurde.
