Auction result misses estimated price range
In May this year a collector was able to acquire the work Historical Solution by Urs Fischer for USD 567,000.00 (€ 532,194.48). This price was achieved in the auction A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 600,000.00 – 800,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Urs Fischer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (Lamp/Bear) in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 6,802,500.00 (€ 4,731,844.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Historical Solution von Urs Fischer für USD 567.000,00 (€ 532.194,48) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600.000,00 – 800.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Urs Fischer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (Lamp/Bear) im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.802.500,00 (€ 4.731.844,74).
