Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work der Zaun (The Fence) by Armando was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 126.00 (€ 114.13). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Armando achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in April 2015 with an auction result of EUR 47,100.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit der Zaun (The Fence) von Armando im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 126,00 (€ 114,13) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Armando erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 47.100,00.
