Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Phillips in New York held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session, which included the work Pico by Elizabeth Murray. The price achieved of USD 25,200.00 (€ 24,411.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Elizabeth Murray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Little Fingers in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 437,500.00 (€ 397,041.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pico von Elizabeth Murray zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 24.411,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Elizabeth Murray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Little Fingers im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 437.500,00 (€ 397.041,47).
