Auction result misses estimated price range
In March 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work Spidey, Berlin by Zak Smith for USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,518.98). This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Curated featuring works from “In Its Own Light: Property from the Collection of Ed Cohen and Victoria Shaw” at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zak Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work What Do You Want For Breakfast? in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 37,000.00 (€ 23,766.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März 2017 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Spidey, Berlin von Zak Smith für USD 1.625,00 (€ 1.518,98) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Curated featuring works from “In Its Own Light: Property from the Collection of Ed Cohen and Victoria Shaw” bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zak Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit What Do You Want For Breakfast? im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.000,00 (€ 23.766,70).
