Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Wallace Berman could be acquired at Christies in New York in December 2019 for an unexpectedly low price. In the First Open | Online auction, the work Posthumous Fragment #121 changed hands for USD 6,000.00 (€ 5,344.26) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wallace Berman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Radio/Aether, 1966 in September last year with an auction result of USD 164,175.00 (€ 167,816.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wallace Berman konnte im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First Open | Online wechselte die Arbeit Posthumous Fragment #121 für USD 6.000,00 (€ 5.344,26) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wallace Berman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Radio/Aether, 1966 im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 164.175,00 (€ 167.816,62).
