Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Recto/Verso by Robert Heinecken was auctioned at Phillips in New York in October 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 32,500.00 (€ 27,901.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Robert Heinecken have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Cliché Vary/Lesbianism in October 2014 with an auction result of USD 149,000.00 (€ 118,914.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Recto/Verso von Robert Heinecken kam im Oktober 2017 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 27.901,79) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Heinecken auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Cliché Vary/Lesbianism im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 149.000,00 (€ 118.914,60).
