Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Aquanot #33 by Lynda Benglis. The price achieved of USD 50,400.00 (€ 46,966.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lynda Benglis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Moretti in May last year with an auction result of USD 1,071,000.00 (€ 998,043.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Aquanot #33 von Lynda Benglis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.400,00 (€ 46.966,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lynda Benglis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Moretti im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.071.000,00 (€ 998.043,05).
