Auction result well in line with expectations
In April last year Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Evening Auction, which included the work Water-Worshipper by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The price achieved of HKD 71,755,000.00 (€ 8,675,701.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 62,000,000.00 – 93,000,000.00. 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
Im April letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Water-Worshipper von Jean-Michel Basquiat zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 71.755.000,00 (€ 8.675.701,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 62.000.000,00 – 93.000.000,00 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).
