Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
In March 2016 Christies in New York held the auction FIRST OPEN | Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work How Things Happen - A Fountain by Gary Stephan. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,000.00 (€ 1,755.93), 67% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Gary Stephan; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Cuffs and Clubs sold at auction in October 2008 with the realized price of USD 2,500.00 (€ 1,971.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im März 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion FIRST OPEN | Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit How Things Happen - A Fountain von Gary Stephan zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 2.000,00 (€ 1.755,93) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Gary Stephan; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Cuffs and Clubs im Oktober 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 2.500,00 (€ 1.971,30).
