Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Five Prints by the Artist by Wolf Vostell was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,300.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,890.00 (€ 1,711.96). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wolf Vostell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work B 52 in November 2012 with an auction result of EUR 51,600.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Five Prints by the Artist von Wolf Vostell im April diesen Jahres 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 2.300,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.890,00 (€ 1.711,96) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wolf Vostell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit B 52 im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 51.600,00.
