Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
In May last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Cement Man by Sam Gilliam. The »bidding war« ended at USD 126,375.00 (€ 117,766.28), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sam Gilliam achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lady Day II in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 2,172,500.00 (€ 1,918,661.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cement Man von Sam Gilliam zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 126.375,00 (€ 117.766,28) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sam Gilliam erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lady Day II im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.172.500,00 (€ 1.918.661,13).
