Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Online | New York, which included the work Spiral Painting II by Philip Taaffe. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 40,320.00 (€ 33,985.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Philip Taaffe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Midnight Blue in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 434,500.00 (€ 302,239.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Online | New York durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spiral Painting II von Philip Taaffe zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 33.985,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Philip Taaffe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Midnight Blue im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 434.500,00 (€ 302.239,84).
