Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Angela Davis by Peter Saul was auctioned at Phillips 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 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 6,048.00 (€ 5,192.75). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Saul achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Human Dignity in May this year with an auction result of USD 819,000.00 (€ 768,725.36).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Angela Davis von Peter Saul im Oktober 2020 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.048,00 (€ 5.192,75) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Saul erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Human Dignity im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 819.000,00 (€ 768.725,36).
