Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Mark Dion could be acquired at Phillips in New York in November 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern & Contemporary Editions auction, the work Department of Paleontology (Fossil Collection Specimen Collected by M. Dion Gypsum Cast of Mc Donald's French Fries changed hands for USD 188.00 (€ 144.22) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mark Dion achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Babel in March 2018 with an auction result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,175.32).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mark Dion konnte im November 2010 bei Phillips in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Editions wechselte die Arbeit Department of Paleontology (Fossil Collection Specimen Collected by M. Dion Gypsum Cast of Mc Donald's French Fries für USD 188,00 (€ 144,22) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mark Dion erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Babel im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.175,32).
