Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Diamas #2 by Sam Gilliam was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Day Auction auction at Sothebys in London in March last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 75,600.00 (€ 89,632.31) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Diamas #2 von Sam Gilliam wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Day Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 75.600,00 (€ 89.632,31) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. 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).
