Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Gary Hill could be acquired at Christies in New York in December last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Conundrum changed hands for USD 20,160.00 (€ 18,844.64) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by Gary Hill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Crossbow in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 169,000.00 (€ 115,059.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gary Hill konnte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit Conundrum für USD 20.160,00 (€ 18.844,64) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Gary Hill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Crossbow im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 169.000,00 (€ 115.059,91).
