Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Winter Green, 1959 by Kyle Morris was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 20,250.00 (€ 22,621.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kyle Morris - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pendant, which sold at auction in July this year for USD 76,700.00 (€ 69,600.73).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Winter Green, 1959 von Kyle Morris im Dezember 2020 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 20.250,00 (€ 22.621,05) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Kyle Morris mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pendant beobachtet, die im Juli diesen Jahres für USD 76.700,00 (€ 69.600,73) versteigert wurde.
