Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Before and After by Charles Ray was sold in the Post War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session auction at Christies in New York in November 2007. The price achieved of USD 37,000.00 (€ 25,190.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Ray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Aluminum Girl in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 4,282,500.00 (€ 3,463,684.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Before and After von Charles Ray wurde im November 2007 in der Auktion Post War and Contemporary Art Afternoon Session bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 37.000,00 (€ 25.190,63) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Ray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Aluminum Girl im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.282.500,00 (€ 3.463.684,89).
