Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "Untitled" (Venezia) by Félix González-Torres was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 106,250.00 (€ 96,424.36) 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 kam im November 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 106.250,00 (€ 96.424,36) 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).
