Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 1965/1 - ∞ DÉTAIL 2345774 - 2347926 by Roman Opalka was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in London in March 2021. The price achieved of GBP 50,400.00 (€ 59,207.02) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roman Opalka achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work OPALKA 1965/1 - ∞ Détail 185086 – 218302 in May 2021 with an auction result of EUR 1,222,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 1965/1 - ∞ DÉTAIL 2345774 - 2347926 von Roman Opalka wurde im März 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 50.400,00 (€ 59.207,02) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roman Opalka erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit OPALKA 1965/1 - ∞ Détail 185086 – 218302 im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.222.500,00.
