Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "Untitled" (Welcome) by Félix González-Torres was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. The price achieved of USD 800,000.00 (€ 717,553.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. 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" (Welcome) von Félix González-Torres wurde im Mai 2019 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 800.000,00 (€ 717.553,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 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).
