Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Black On Black by Jimmy Ernst was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 7,287.65) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jimmy Ernst - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Imminence, which sold at auction in March 2006 for USD 21,600.00 (€ 17,793.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Black On Black von Jimmy Ernst kam im Mai 2019 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 7.287,65) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jimmy Ernst mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Imminence beobachtet, die im März 2006 für USD 21.600,00 (€ 17.793,89) versteigert wurde.
