This artwork by Beauford Delaney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in February 2019. In the Post-War to Present auction, the work Abstraction No. 4 sold for USD 387,000.00 (€ 340,100.18) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Beauford Delaney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work James Baldwin, which sold at auction in October last year for GBP 1,026,000.00 (€ 1,195,278.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Beauford Delaney erzielte im Februar 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War to Present wurde die Arbeit Abstraction No. 4 für USD 387.000,00 (€ 340.100,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Beauford Delaney mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit James Baldwin beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für GBP 1.026.000,00 (€ 1.195.278,64) versteigert wurde.
