Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled (Subjective) by Matt Mullican was auctioned at Phillips in London in December 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,075.32). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Matt Mullican - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in September 2005 for USD 45,600.00 (€ 37,817.22).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Subjective) von Matt Mullican im Dezember 2020 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.075,32) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Matt Mullican mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im September 2005 für USD 45.600,00 (€ 37.817,22) versteigert wurde.
