Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Blue Unions by Sam Gilliam was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in New York in November last year. The price achieved of USD 731,175.00 (€ 708,297.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sam Gilliam - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lady Day II, which sold at auction in November 2018 for USD 2,172,500.00 (€ 1,918,661.13).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Blue Unions von Sam Gilliam wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 731.175,00 (€ 708.297,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Sam Gilliam mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lady Day II beobachtet, die im November 2018 für USD 2.172.500,00 (€ 1.918.661,13) versteigert wurde.
