Auction result well in line with expectations
In December last year Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Pencil Legs by Seth Price. The price achieved of USD 40,320.00 (€ 37,689.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Seth Price achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cheap Wall in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 449,000.00 (€ 408,404.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pencil Legs von Seth Price zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 37.689,29) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Seth Price erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cheap Wall im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 449.000,00 (€ 408.404,58).
