Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Kumi Sugai could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in July 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Prints & Multiples auction, the work La Quête Sans Fin changed hands for USD 1,000.00 (€ 849.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kumi Sugai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work KAGURA (Sacred Music and Dance) in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 293,000.00 (€ 277,409.58).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kumi Sugai konnte im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Prints & Multiples wechselte die Arbeit La Quête Sans Fin für USD 1.000,00 (€ 849,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kumi Sugai erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit KAGURA (Sacred Music and Dance) im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 293.000,00 (€ 277.409,58).
