Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (The Color of a Yam) by Jean-Michel Basquiat was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March last year. The price achieved of USD 604,800.00 (€ 545,208.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean-Michel Basquiat achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 110,487,500.00 (€ 98,333,481.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (The Color of a Yam) von Jean-Michel Basquiat kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 604.800,00 (€ 545.208,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean-Michel Basquiat erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 110.487.500,00 (€ 98.333.481,67).
