A top price for Mike and Doug Starn - as previously expected
In April 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work Trees by Mike and Doug Starn. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 16,250.00 (€ 10,438.08) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Trees is the most expensive artwork by Mike and Doug Starn that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2008 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Trees von Mike and Doug Starn zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 10.438,08) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Trees das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mike and Doug Starn, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
