Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Maison De Riz (Rice House) by Wolfgang Laib was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 31,250.00 (€ 29,587.20) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wolfgang Laib - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Milkstone, which sold at auction in December 2016 for EUR 112,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Maison De Riz (Rice House) von Wolfgang Laib wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 29.587,20) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Wolfgang Laib mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Milkstone beobachtet, die im Dezember 2016 für EUR 112.500,00 versteigert wurde.
