Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Untitled II (K. W. 1989.02) by Mel Bochner. It changed hands for a price of USD 572.00 (€ 541.26) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 400.00 – 600.00. 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 Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled II (K. W. 1989.02) von Mel Bochner zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 572,00 (€ 541,26) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 400,00 – 600,00. 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).
