Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The School of Grosse Hamburgerstrasse, Berlin, 1939: seven prints by Christian Boltanski was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year. The price achieved of USD 2,394.00 (€ 2,168.48) 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 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
Die Arbeit The School of Grosse Hamburgerstrasse, Berlin, 1939: seven prints von Christian Boltanski kam im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 2.394,00 (€ 2.168,48) 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 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).
