Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In July 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Online | New York, which included the work Error by John Wesley. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,200.00 (€ 21,240.73), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Wesley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plague in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 577,000.00 (€ 370,822.62).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Online | New York durch, in der auch die Arbeit Error von John Wesley zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 21.240,73) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Wesley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Plague im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 577.000,00 (€ 370.822,62).
