A top price for Al Hansen
When the work Charlotte Moorman Came Out From Behind Her Cello and Danced All Night by Al Hansen was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 35,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 187,500.00 (€ 170,160.63). This high result makes Charlotte Moorman Came Out From Behind Her Cello and Danced All Night the most expensive artwork by Al Hansen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Al Hansen
Als die Arbeit Charlotte Moorman Came Out From Behind Her Cello and Danced All Night von Al Hansen im November 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 35.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 187.500,00 (€ 170.160,63) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Charlotte Moorman Came Out From Behind Her Cello and Danced All Night zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Al Hansen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
