In October 2020 Christies in New York held the auction The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection, which included the work Illuminated Man, 1968 by Duane Michals. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,078.30), 58% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Duane Michals have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Portrait Of Andy Warhol' in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,356.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Illuminated Man, 1968 von Duane Michals zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.750,00 (€ 4.078,30) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Duane Michals auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'Portrait Of Andy Warhol' im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.356,39).
