Auction result well in line with expectations
In July last year Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work An Unseen Star (OR-1 Search in Cepheus) Delmar Dry Lake, NV by Trevor Paglen. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,880.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Trevor Paglen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Discarded Rocket Body Approaching the Disk of the Moon (SL-8 R/B), which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,761.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Unseen Star (OR-1 Search in Cepheus) Delmar Dry Lake, NV von Trevor Paglen zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.080,00 (€ 9.880,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Trevor Paglen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Discarded Rocket Body Approaching the Disk of the Moon (SL-8 R/B) beobachtet, die im November 2021 für USD 43.750,00 (€ 38.761,41) versteigert wurde.
