Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Maternity by David Hammons for USD 975,000.00 (€ 835,475.58). This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 1,400,000.00 – 1,800,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by David Hammons have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 8,005,000.00 (€ 5,883,433.78).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Maternity von David Hammons für USD 975.000,00 (€ 835.475,58) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.400.000,00 – 1.800.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von David Hammons auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.005.000,00 (€ 5.883.433,78).
