Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Specimen by Kenneth Price was auctioned at Christies in New York in November this year. The price achieved of USD 26,460.00 (€ 24,257.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kenneth Price achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work M. Green in May this year with an auction result of USD 554,400.00 (€ 520,367.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Specimen von Kenneth Price kam im November diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 26.460,00 (€ 24.257,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kenneth Price erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit M. Green im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 554.400,00 (€ 520.367,94).
