The work Shower Head by Gabriel Orozco was sold in the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in December last year. It achieved a price of USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,955.69), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 73%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gabriel Orozco achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dandelion in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 795,000.00 (€ 681,233.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 73 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Shower Head von Gabriel Orozco wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 13.860,00 (€ 12.955,69) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 73%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gabriel Orozco erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dandelion im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 795.000,00 (€ 681.233,93).
