Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Joel Mesler achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2021. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work We are the World sold for USD 252,000.00 (€ 223,265.70) - well above the upper estimate of USD 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Joel Mesler - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work To Life, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 907,200.00 (€ 845,401.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Joel Mesler erzielte im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction wurde die Arbeit We are the World für USD 252.000,00 (€ 223.265,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 100.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Joel Mesler mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit To Life beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 907.200,00 (€ 845.401,17) versteigert wurde.
