Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figure by David Altmejd was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 81,250.00 (€ 69,622.96) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Altmejd - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The New North, which sold at auction in June 2012 for GBP 217,250.00 (€ 269,007.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figure von David Altmejd wurde im Mai 2018 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert.

Für andere Arbeiten von David Altmejd mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The New North beobachtet, die im Juni 2012 für GBP 217.250,00 (€ 269.007,22) versteigert wurde.
