Auction result well in line with expectations
The work In the Open by Samuel Bak was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in May 2017. The price achieved of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,349.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel Bak - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Flag, which sold at auction in December 2016 for USD 35,000.00 (€ 33,169.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit In the Open von Samuel Bak wurde im Mai 2017 in der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.349,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel Bak mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Blue Flag beobachtet, die im Dezember 2016 für USD 35.000,00 (€ 33.169,07) versteigert wurde.
