Artwork auctioned at 14 times the upper estimate price
When the work Note (WS #1) by Jack Tworkov was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 14 times as high at USD 281,250.00 (€ 255,240.95). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jack Tworkov; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Watergame sold at auction in November 2005 with the realized price of USD 396,800.00 (€ 336,556.40).
Kunstwerk zum 14-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Note (WS #1) von Jack Tworkov im November 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 281.250,00 (€ 255.240,95) mehr als 14-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Jack Tworkov; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Watergame im November 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 396.800,00 (€ 336.556,40).
