Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2014 Phillips in New York held the auction Latin America, which included the work Unidade I by Lygia Clark. The price achieved of USD 461,000.00 (€ 337,976.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Admittedly, works by Lygia Clark have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Contra Relevo (Objeto N. 7) in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 2,225,000.00 (€ 1,713,119.80).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2014 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Latin America durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unidade I von Lygia Clark zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 461.000,00 (€ 337.976,54) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lygia Clark auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Contra Relevo (Objeto N. 7) im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.225.000,00 (€ 1.713.119,80).
