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 Study on "Installing the Lens" by Mark Tansey. The price achieved of USD 882,000.00 (€ 821,917.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Mark Tansey have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Source Of The Loue in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 7,453,600.00 (€ 6,386,975.15).

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 Study on "Installing the Lens" von Mark Tansey zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 882.000,00 (€ 821.917,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mark Tansey auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Source Of The Loue im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.453.600,00 (€ 6.386.975,15).
