Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sleepers Awake #13 by Cleve Gray was sold in the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in July 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,870.45) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cleve Gray - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Remembering Chi Pai Shih No. 2, which sold at auction in March last year for USD 27,720.00 (€ 24,988.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Sleepers Awake #13 von Cleve Gray wurde im Juli 2017 in der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.870,45) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Cleve Gray mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Remembering Chi Pai Shih No. 2 beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für USD 27.720,00 (€ 24.988,73) versteigert wurde.
