Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Devil's Eye by Gene Davis was sold in the Contemporary Art Online | New York auction at Sothebys in New York in July 2021. The price achieved of USD 9,450.00 (€ 7,965.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gene Davis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Legato In Red in September 2019 with an auction result of USD 187,500.00 (€ 171,939.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Devil's Eye von Gene Davis wurde im Juli 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Online | New York bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 7.965,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gene Davis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Legato In Red im September 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 187.500,00 (€ 171.939,48).
