Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Tagger) by Barry McGee was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in September last year. The price achieved of USD 12,600.00 (€ 12,879.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barry McGee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in April 2021 with an auction result of GBP 113,400.00 (€ 130,442.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Tagger) von Barry McGee wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.600,00 (€ 12.879,48) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barry McGee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 113.400,00 (€ 130.442,99).
