Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2019 Phillips in New York held the auction New Now, which included the work 1MW/Flying Garden/Air-Port-City by Tomás Saraceno. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 18,000.00 – 22,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 18,750.00 (€ 17,193.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tomás Saraceno - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work M102/W+W, which sold at auction in March 2018 for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 59,774.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2019 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion New Now durch, in der auch die Arbeit 1MW/Flying Garden/Air-Port-City von Tomás Saraceno zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 18.000,00 – 22.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 17.193,95) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Tomás Saraceno mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit M102/W+W beobachtet, die im März 2018 für GBP 52.500,00 (€ 59.774,15) versteigert wurde.
