Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ''Untitled'' (March 5th) #2 by Félix González-Torres was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction at Phillips in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 504,000.00 (€ 597,548.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 450,000.00 – 650,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Félix González-Torres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Untitled" (L.A.) in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 7,669,000.00 (€ 7,260,935.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit ''Untitled'' (March 5th) #2 von Félix González-Torres wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale bei Phillips in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 504.000,00 (€ 597.548,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 450.000,00 – 650.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Félix González-Torres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit "Untitled" (L.A.) im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.669.000,00 (€ 7.260.935,43).
