Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Sam Francis was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in January 2024. The price achieved of USD 1,408.00 (€ 1,230.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sam Francis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composition in Blue and Black in November last year with an auction result of USD 13,557,500.00 (€ 13,133,294.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Sam Francis kam im Januar 2024 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.408,00 (€ 1.230,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sam Francis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Composition in Blue and Black im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 13.557.500,00 (€ 13.133.294,58).
