Auction result well in line with expectations
The work High Energy Bar by Walter De Maria was sold in the Collection Loïc Malle: Only Time Will Tell auction at Sothebys in Paris in April last year. It changed hands for a price of EUR 32,760.00 achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of EUR 24,000.00 – 34,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter De Maria achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Circle/Rectangle 7 (Large Rod Series) in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 577,000.00 (€ 392,837.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit High Energy Bar von Walter De Maria wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Collection Loïc Malle: Only Time Will Tell bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von EUR 32.760,00 den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 24.000,00 – 34.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter De Maria erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Circle/Rectangle 7 (Large Rod Series) im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 577.000,00 (€ 392.837,69).
