Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Cabinet of Curiosities for the Wexner Centre for the Arts by Mark Dion was sold in the The Collection of Melva Bucksbaum: Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photographs and Prints auction at Christies in New York in October 2018. The price achieved of USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,309.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mark Dion - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Babel, which sold at auction in March 2018 for USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,175.32).
