Sold at the lower estimate price
In November 2015 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session, which included this untitled work by Bob Thompson. The result of USD 40,000.00 (€ 37,871.62) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Admittedly, works by Bob Thompson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Meeting Man in May this year with an auction result of USD 327,600.00 (€ 307,490.14).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im November 2015 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Bob Thompson zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 37.871,62) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bob Thompson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Meeting Man im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 327.600,00 (€ 307.490,14).
