Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Rat Island Painting by Ashley Bickerton. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 75,000.00 (€ 60,299.08) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ashley Bickerton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seascape: Floating Costume to Drift for Eternity II, which sold at auction in November 2013 for USD 221,000.00 (€ 162,428.34).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Rat Island Painting von Ashley Bickerton zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 60.299,08) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Ashley Bickerton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Seascape: Floating Costume to Drift for Eternity II beobachtet, die im November 2013 für USD 221.000,00 (€ 162.428,34) versteigert wurde.
