Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Sam Gilliam achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work Wide State sold for USD 302,400.00 (€ 281,800.39) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. Admittedly, works by Sam Gilliam have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Sam Gilliam erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Wide State für USD 302.400,00 (€ 281.800,39) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Sam Gilliam auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Lady Day II im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.172.500,00 (€ 1.918.661,13).
