Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Devil Is Beating His Wife by Mark Bradford was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2021. The price achieved of HKD 26,650,000.00 (€ 2,817,110.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 20,000,000.00 – 30,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mark Bradford - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Helter Skelter I, which sold at auction in March 2018 for GBP 8,671,500.00 (€ 9,872,981.37).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Devil Is Beating His Wife von Mark Bradford kam im Mai 2021 bei Christies in Hong Kong zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 26.650.000,00 (€ 2.817.110,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 20.000.000,00 – 30.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Mark Bradford mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Helter Skelter I beobachtet, die im März 2018 für GBP 8.671.500,00 (€ 9.872.981,37) versteigert wurde.
