A top price for Gary Hill - as previously expected
The work Crossbow by Gary Hill was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2007. The price achieved of USD 169,000.00 (€ 115,059.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Crossbow is the most expensive artwork by Gary Hill that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Crossbow von Gary Hill kam im November 2007 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 169.000,00 (€ 115.059,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Crossbow das teuerste Kunstwerk von Gary Hill, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
