Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
In July 2013 Christies in New York held the auction First Open: Summer Edition, which included the work Fluxpost stamps by George Maciunas. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,750.00 (€ 3,576.27), 36% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Maciunas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fluxkit in September 2011 with an auction result of USD 104,500.00 (€ 77,700.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open: Summer Edition durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fluxpost stamps von George Maciunas zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.750,00 (€ 3.576,27) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Maciunas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fluxkit im September 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 104.500,00 (€ 77.700,94).
