In November 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session, which included the work Road Trip by Derek Fordjour. The »bidding war« ended at USD 106,250.00 (€ 96,424.36), 33% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Derek Fordjour have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ornithologist in May last year with an auction result of USD 945,000.00 (€ 880,626.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im November 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Road Trip von Derek Fordjour zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 106.250,00 (€ 96.424,36) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Derek Fordjour auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ornithologist im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 945.000,00 (€ 880.626,22).
