Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2020 Christies in New York held the auction Christie's 100, which included the work Is One Thing Better Than Another?????? by Allen Ruppersberg. The price achieved of USD 2,375.00 (€ 2,154.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Allen Ruppersberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Paper Drive (For Claire) in June 2015 with an auction result of USD 57,500.00 (€ 51,551.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Christie's 100 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Is One Thing Better Than Another?????? von Allen Ruppersberg zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.375,00 (€ 2.154,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Allen Ruppersberg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Paper Drive (For Claire) im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 57.500,00 (€ 51.551,01).
