Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Penis by Ellen Altfest was sold in the First Open/NYC auction at Christies in New York in September 2014. The auction ended at the price of USD 20,000.00 (€ 15,837.82), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ellen Altfest - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Tree, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 80,500.00 (€ 61,875.48).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Penis von Ellen Altfest wurde im September 2014 in der Auktion First Open/NYC bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 20.000,00 (€ 15.837,82) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ellen Altfest mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Tree beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 80.500,00 (€ 61.875,48) versteigert wurde.
