Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Yinka Shonibare could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the First Open Post-War Contemporary Art auction, the work Victorian Philanthropist's Parlour changed hands for USD 98,500.00 (€ 73,871.31) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yinka Shonibare - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red Lantern Kid, which sold at auction in December 2018 for USD 325,000.00 (€ 283,694.13).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Yinka Shonibare konnte im März 2012 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First Open Post-War Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Victorian Philanthropist's Parlour für USD 98.500,00 (€ 73.871,31) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Yinka Shonibare mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Red Lantern Kid beobachtet, die im Dezember 2018 für USD 325.000,00 (€ 283.694,13) versteigert wurde.
