Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Silicon Gloves (spaghetti man/tomato head hands) by Paul McCarthy was auctioned at Phillips in 17 - in July this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,048.00 (€ 2,765.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul McCarthy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tripod in May 2016 with an auction result of USD 2,045,000.00 (€ 1,836,551.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Silicon Gloves (spaghetti man/tomato head hands) von Paul McCarthy kam im Juli diesen Jahres bei Phillips in 17 - zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.048,00 (€ 2.765,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul McCarthy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tripod im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.045.000,00 (€ 1.836.551,41).
