Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work (I) G Series 4(Ii) G Series 8(Iii) G Series 1 by Al Held was sold in the First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online auction at Christies in London in March 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,089.56). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Al Held achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Compass Rose in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 312,500.00 (€ 283,601.05).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit (I) G Series 4(Ii) G Series 8(Iii) G Series 1 von Al Held wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.089,56) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Al Held erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Compass Rose im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 312.500,00 (€ 283.601,05).
