Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in New York held the auction PLAYBOY AT 50, which included the work Bunny Slot Machine, circa early 1970s by David Wedgebury. The price achieved of USD 956.00 (€ 758.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800.00 – 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Wedgebury - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Heads and Tails, circa early 1970s, which sold at auction in December 2003 for USD 2,509.50 (€ 1,992.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion PLAYBOY AT 50 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bunny Slot Machine, circa early 1970s von David Wedgebury zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 956,00 (€ 758,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von David Wedgebury mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Heads and Tails, circa early 1970s beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für USD 2.509,50 (€ 1.992,14) versteigert wurde.
