Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "Untitled" (Venezia) by Félix González-Torres was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 162,500.00 (€ 144,624.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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" (Venezia) von Félix González-Torres wurde im Mai 2017 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 144.624,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
