Auction result well in line with expectations
The work H.2.N.Y. Self-Mutilating Machine by Michael Landy was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2016. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,752.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Landy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work H.2.N.Y. Tinguely Machine Erases its own Construction in 27 Minutes, which sold at auction in February 2015 for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 25,853.47).
