A top price for Aaron Spangler - as previously expected

In May 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Post -War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session, which included the work Race Among The Ruins by Aaron Spangler. The price achieved of USD 50,400.00 (€ 37,463.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Race Among The Ruins is the most expensive artwork by Aaron Spangler that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post -War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Race Among The Ruins von Aaron Spangler zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.400,00 (€ 37.463,76) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Race Among The Ruins das teuerste Kunstwerk von Aaron Spangler, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
