Auction result well in line with expectations

The work 'Torso Head' by William Wegman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,512.00 (€ 1,239.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Wegman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work On and On, 2015 in October 2019 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,822.95).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit 'Torso Head' von William Wegman kam im Mai 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.512,00 (€ 1.239,95) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Wegman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit On and On, 2015 im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.822,95).
