Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Jungle by William Monk. The price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,558.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Monk achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Far-Out III in December last year with an auction result of HKD 2,520,000.00 (€ 301,985.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Jungle von William Monk zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.558,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Monk erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Far-Out III im Dezember letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.520.000,00 (€ 301.985,42).
