Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ghetto Collector (for Parkett no. 69) by Francis Alÿs was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in December last year. The price achieved of GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,439.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Alÿs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Study For The Last Clown in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 288,000.00 (€ 427,377.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ghetto Collector (for Parkett no. 69) von Francis Alÿs wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.275,00 (€ 1.439,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Alÿs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Study For The Last Clown im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 288.000,00 (€ 427.377,51).
