Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work VARIABLE PIECE NO. 70 (IN PROCESS) GLOBAL, CROCODILE TEARS II; RUDI WEXLER by Douglas Huebler was auctioned at Christies in New York in February 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,465.00 (€ 4,846.94). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Douglas Huebler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Variable Piece #101 in September 2016 with an auction result of GBP 52,500.00 (€ 60,801.52).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit VARIABLE PIECE NO. 70 (IN PROCESS) GLOBAL, CROCODILE TEARS II; RUDI WEXLER von Douglas Huebler im Februar 2001 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.465,00 (€ 4.846,94) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Douglas Huebler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Variable Piece #101 im September 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 52.500,00 (€ 60.801,52).
