Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Our Enemies Are Like Fish Caught in Dragnet, That is, Easily Captured by Hank Willis Thomas was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in May this year. The price achieved of USD 50,400.00 (€ 47,306.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hank Willis Thomas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Society of the Spectacle (Spectrum IV), which sold at auction in March this year for USD 127,000.00 (€ 116,813.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Our Enemies Are Like Fish Caught in Dragnet, That is, Easily Captured von Hank Willis Thomas wurde im Mai diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.400,00 (€ 47.306,18) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Hank Willis Thomas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Society of the Spectacle (Spectrum IV) beobachtet, die im März diesen Jahres für USD 127.000,00 (€ 116.813,83) versteigert wurde.
