Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled (Unmapping, Unmaking, Unmeaning n.1) by Oscar Tuazon was auctioned at Christies in New York in December last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,032.00 (€ 3,768.93). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oscar Tuazon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in March 2015 with an auction result of USD 62,500.00 (€ 58,188.25).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Unmapping, Unmaking, Unmeaning n.1) von Oscar Tuazon im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.032,00 (€ 3.768,93) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oscar Tuazon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 58.188,25).
