Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price
When the work Broken Segments/Silver by Jack Youngerman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at USD 32,500.00 (€ 27,512.06). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jack Youngerman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work August, 1966, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 93,825.00 (€ 84,155.53).
Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Broken Segments/Silver von Jack Youngerman im September 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 32.500,00 (€ 27.512,06) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jack Youngerman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit August, 1966 beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 93.825,00 (€ 84.155,53) versteigert wurde.
