Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A Group of Thirteen Geometric Volumes by Mathias Goeritz was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in October 2020. The result of USD 40,000.00 (€ 34,343.61) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mathias Goeritz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mensaje in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 466,000.00 (€ 441,204.32).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit A Group of Thirteen Geometric Volumes von Mathias Goeritz wurde im Oktober 2020 in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 34.343,61) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mathias Goeritz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mensaje im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 466.000,00 (€ 441.204,32).
