This artwork by Ernie Barnes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in November last year. In the American Art auction, the work Bojangles sold for USD 315,375.00 (€ 305,507.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernie Barnes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sugar Shack in May last year with an auction result of USD 15,275,000.00 (€ 14,234,460.91).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ernie Barnes erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion American Art wurde die Arbeit Bojangles für USD 315.375,00 (€ 305.507,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernie Barnes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sugar Shack im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.275.000,00 (€ 14.234.460,91).
