Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Actions: Sploosh Whooosh Blub Blub Blub Blub (No. 2) by Christian Marclay was sold in the Contemporary Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 157,500.00 (€ 146,771.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Christian Marclay - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boneyard, which sold at auction in May 2016 for USD 550,000.00 (€ 493,938.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Actions: Sploosh Whooosh Blub Blub Blub Blub (No. 2) von Christian Marclay wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 157.500,00 (€ 146.771,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Christian Marclay mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Boneyard beobachtet, die im Mai 2016 für USD 550.000,00 (€ 493.938,03) versteigert wurde.
