Auction result well in line with expectations
In March this year Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD, which included the work Gymnasium Chases by Christian Boltanski. The price achieved of USD 3,780.00 (€ 3,476.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christian Boltanski achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Monument (Odessa) in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 138,000.00 (€ 158,730.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gymnasium Chases von Christian Boltanski zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.780,00 (€ 3.476,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christian Boltanski erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Monument (Odessa) im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 138.000,00 (€ 158.730,16).
