Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2011 Christies in New York held the auction First Open Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Crossbow by Gary Hill. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 44,066.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Crossbow von Gary Hill zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 44.066,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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.
