Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (A Youth With A Wine Cup); Untitled (A Courtier) by Shahzia Sikander was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at USD 56,250.00 (€ 52,579.92). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shahzia Sikander - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Veil 'N Trail, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 325,000.00 (€ 208,761.56).
Kunstwerk zum Neunfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (A Youth With A Wine Cup); Untitled (A Courtier) von Shahzia Sikander im März 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 56.250,00 (€ 52.579,92) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Shahzia Sikander mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Veil 'N Trail beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 325.000,00 (€ 208.761,56) versteigert wurde.
