Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2015 a collector was able to acquire the work Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) by Kara Walker for GBP 62,500.00 (€ 87,421.89). This price was achieved in the auction A Visual Odyssey Selections from LAC (Lambert Art Collection) Staged by Jacques Grange at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Kara Walker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Negress Notes in May last year with an auction result of USD 529,200.00 (€ 493,150.68).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2015 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) von Kara Walker für GBP 62.500,00 (€ 87.421,89) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Visual Odyssey Selections from LAC (Lambert Art Collection) Staged by Jacques Grange bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kara Walker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Negress Notes im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 529.200,00 (€ 493.150,68).
