Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year Christies in Brussels held the auction First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online, which included the work Howl by Mel Bochner. The price achieved of GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,468.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mel Bochner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Blah, Blah, Blah in July 2020 with an auction result of USD 187,500.00 (€ 159,249.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Christies in Brüssel die Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Howl von Mel Bochner zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.468,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mel Bochner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Blah, Blah, Blah im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 187.500,00 (€ 159.249,19).
