Auction result well in line with expectations
In March this year Christies in London held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Fly Me To The Moon II by Jeppe Hein. The price achieved of GBP 37,800.00 (€ 43,004.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jeppe Hein - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 3-Dimensional Circle Illuminated, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 120,650.00 (€ 113,243.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fly Me To The Moon II von Jeppe Hein zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 43.004,80) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jeppe Hein mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 3-Dimensional Circle Illuminated beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für USD 120.650,00 (€ 113.243,85) versteigert wurde.
