Artwork auctioned at 17 times the upper estimate price
When the work Tameless Horses by Lee Quiñones was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 17 times as high at USD 35,280.00 (€ 30,291.06). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lee Quiñones - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Dance Band, which sold at auction in October 2021 for USD 75,600.00 (€ 65,443.21).
Kunstwerk zum 17-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Tameless Horses von Lee Quiñones im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 35.280,00 (€ 30.291,06) mehr als 17-mal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Lee Quiñones mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Dance Band beobachtet, die im Oktober 2021 für USD 75.600,00 (€ 65.443,21) versteigert wurde.
