Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Searching For Gravity'S Rainbow by Haluk Akakçe was sold in the Contemporary Art Day auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,390.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Haluk Akakçe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Incubation - Isolation - Transmission in April 2010 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 49,772.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Searching For Gravity'S Rainbow von Haluk Akakçe wurde im Mai 2011 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.390,79) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Haluk Akakçe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Incubation - Isolation - Transmission im April 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.250,00 (€ 49.772,29).
