Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Black Star Press (rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise); Black Star, Black Press, Star Press by Kelley Walker was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500,000.00 – 700,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 385,250.00 (€ 444,199.29). Other works by Kelley Walker have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in March 2018 by the work Black Star Press at GBP 572,750.00 (€ 652,107.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Black Star Press (rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise); Black Star, Black Press, Star Press von Kelley Walker im Oktober 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 385.250,00 (€ 444.199,29) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Kelley Walker wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im März 2018 die Arbeit Black Star Press mit GBP 572.750,00 (€ 652.107,49).
