Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Face Flag by Vito Acconci was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 875.00 (€ 745.12). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vito Acconci achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Thirty-Five Approaches in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 78,125.00 (€ 62,811.55).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Face Flag von Vito Acconci im März 2021 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 875,00 (€ 745,12) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vito Acconci erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Thirty-Five Approaches im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 78.125,00 (€ 62.811,55).
