A top price for Seth Price
When the work Cheap Wall by Seth Price was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 449,000.00 (€ 408,404.58). This high result makes Cheap Wall the most expensive artwork by Seth Price that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Seth Price
Als die Arbeit Cheap Wall von Seth Price im Mai 2015 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 449.000,00 (€ 408.404,58) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Cheap Wall zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Seth Price, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
