Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Stacks by Michael Landy was sold in the First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online auction at Christies in London in February 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,462.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michael Landy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work H.2.N.Y. Tinguely Machine Erases its own Construction in 27 Minutes in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 25,853.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Stacks von Michael Landy wurde im Februar 2020 in der Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.462,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michael Landy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit H.2.N.Y. Tinguely Machine Erases its own Construction in 27 Minutes im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 25.853,47).
