Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Untitled (#11181) by Mel Kendrick. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,551.14) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Mel Kendrick have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (Black Dots) in March 2017 with an auction result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,368.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (#11181) von Mel Kendrick zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.551,14) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mel Kendrick auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (Black Dots) im März 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 23.368,85).
