Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Steve Wolfe konnte im November 2008 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Sale wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (L'Oeuvre) für USD 37.500,00 (€ 29.541,52) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Andere Arbeiten von Steve Wolfe wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im November 2004 die Arbeit Ludwig Wittgenstein, The Blue And Brown Books (Preliminary Studies For The 'Philosophical Investigations') mit USD 52.580,00 (€ 39.656,08).
