Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.
The work Keep The Faith Baby by Hank Willis Thomas was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples auction at Bonhams in New York in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,737.50 (€ 5,346.66), 43% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hank Willis Thomas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Society of the Spectacle (Spectrum IV) in March this year with an auction result of USD 127,000.00 (€ 116,813.83).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Keep The Faith Baby von Hank Willis Thomas wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 5.737,50 (€ 5.346,66) und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hank Willis Thomas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Society of the Spectacle (Spectrum IV) im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 127.000,00 (€ 116.813,83).
