1997
Cast polymer resin figurative sculpture with hand-finishing, contained in the original silver paper-covered presentation box with accompanying exhibtion catalogue, all contained in the original silver paper-covered slipcase.
figure 5 5/8 x 2 3/8 x 5/8 in. (14.3 x 6 x 1.6 cm)
Signed, dated and numbered in pencil on the reverse of the figure, published by The Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, with very minor surface soiling at the lower right white of the figure (presumably consistent with the artist's process), the slipcase with very minor surface soiling at the left center side, otherwise in very good condition.

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Homunculus by Tim Hawkinson was auctioned at Phillips in an online auction in June 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 600.00 – 900.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 500.00 (€ 445.20). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tim Hawkinson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work H.M.S.O in November 2011 with an auction result of USD 68,500.00 (€ 50,918.01).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Homunculus von Tim Hawkinson im Juni 2020 bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 600,00 – 900,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 500,00 (€ 445,20) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tim Hawkinson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit H.M.S.O im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 68.500,00 (€ 50.918,01).
