A top price for Paul Feeley

When the work ACRUX by Paul Feeley was auctioned at Phillips in New York in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 35,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 118,750.00 (€ 91,430.55). This high result makes ACRUX the most expensive artwork by Paul Feeley that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Paul Feeley

Als die Arbeit ACRUX von Paul Feeley im Mai 2013 bei Phillips in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 35.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 118.750,00 (€ 91.430,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht ACRUX zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Paul Feeley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
