Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Self-Portrait by Michelangelo Pistoletto for USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,956.95). This price was achieved in the auction Prints and Multiples at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michelangelo Pistoletto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Uomo che guarda un negativo (Man Looking at a Negative) in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 3,721,250.00 (€ 4,242,953.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Self-Portrait von Michelangelo Pistoletto für USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.956,95) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michelangelo Pistoletto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Uomo che guarda un negativo (Man Looking at a Negative) im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.721.250,00 (€ 4.242.953,40).
