A top price for Jared French
When the work The Double by Jared French was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 300,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 998,043.05). This high result makes The Double the most expensive artwork by Jared French that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jared French
Als die Arbeit The Double von Jared French im Mai letzten Jahres 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 300.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.071.000,00 (€ 998.043,05) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Double zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jared French, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
