Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Absent Self-Portrait #3 (Age Progressions) by Walead Beshty for USD 1,638.00 (€ 1,380.65). This price was achieved in the auction Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walead Beshty achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fedex® Kraft Box© 2005 FEDEX 330504 REV 10/05 SSCC, Standard Overnight, Los Angeles-Beverly Hills, trk# 8726 7182 8553, date February 13-14 2012; Standard Overnight, San Francisco-Beverly Hills, trk# 8759 1171 4523, date January 29-30 2013; Interna in June 2013 with an auction result of GBP 68,500.00 (€ 79,951.77)
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Absent Self-Portrait #3 (Age Progressions) von Walead Beshty für USD 1.638,00 (€ 1.380,65) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Bette Davis Eyes and Other Natural Phenomena: Photographs at No Reserve bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walead Beshty erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fedex® Kraft Box© 2005 FEDEX 330504 REV 10/05 SSCC, Standard Overnight, Los Angeles-Beverly Hills, trk# 8726 7182 8553, date February 13-14 2012; Standard Overnight, San Francisco-Beverly Hills, trk# 8759 1171 4523, date January 29-30 2013; Interna im Juni 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 68.500,00 (€ 79.951,77).
