Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Crossbow by Gary Hill for USD 68,500.00 (€ 53,962.50). This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art Day Sale at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gary Hill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Crossbow, which sold at auction in November 2007 for USD 169,000.00 (€ 115,059.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Crossbow von Gary Hill für USD 68.500,00 (€ 53.962,50) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gary Hill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Crossbow beobachtet, die im November 2007 für USD 169.000,00 (€ 115.059,91) versteigert wurde.
