A top price for Christopher Williams - as previously expected
The work Angola to Vietnam by Christopher Williams was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2000. It changed hands for a price of USD 76,375.00 (€ 81,877.14) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Angola to Vietnam is the most expensive artwork by Christopher Williams that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Angola to Vietnam von Christopher Williams kam im Mai 2000 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 76.375,00 (€ 81.877,14) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Angola to Vietnam das teuerste Kunstwerk von Christopher Williams, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
