Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work Flight Fragment by Richard Hunt. The »bidding war« ended at USD 35,280.00 (€ 31,803.84), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Hunt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wing Bloom, which sold at auction in October 2020 for USD 138,600.00 (€ 119,000.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flight Fragment von Richard Hunt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 35.280,00 (€ 31.803,84) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Richard Hunt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Wing Bloom beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für USD 138.600,00 (€ 119.000,60) versteigert wurde.
