Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Gold by Richard Tuttle was auctioned at Christies in New York in March this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 882.00 (€ 811.26). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Tuttle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Silver Picture in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 1,762,500.00 (€ 1,424,933.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Gold von Richard Tuttle im März diesen 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 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 882,00 (€ 811,26) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Tuttle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Silver Picture im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.762.500,00 (€ 1.424.933,30).
