This artwork by Gene Davis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March last year. In the Contemporary Discoveries auction, the work Queen's Gate sold for USD 88,200.00 (€ 79,509.60) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gene Davis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Legato In Red, which sold at auction in September 2019 for USD 187,500.00 (€ 171,939.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gene Davis erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Discoveries wurde die Arbeit Queen's Gate für USD 88.200,00 (€ 79.509,60) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 50.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gene Davis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Legato In Red beobachtet, die im September 2019 für USD 187.500,00 (€ 171.939,48) versteigert wurde.
