A top price for John Baldessari - as previously expected
In May 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction, which included the work Commissioned Painting: A Painting By Edgar Transue by John Baldessari. The price achieved of USD 2,517,000.00 (€ 1,845,307.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Commissioned Painting: A Painting By Edgar Transue is the most expensive artwork by John Baldessari that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Commissioned Painting: A Painting By Edgar Transue von John Baldessari zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.517.000,00 (€ 1.845.307,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000.000,00 – 3.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Commissioned Painting: A Painting By Edgar Transue das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Baldessari, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
