Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2013 Christies in New York held the auction First Open, which included the work Pollen by Wolfgang Laib. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,753.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wolfgang Laib achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Milkstone in December 2016 with an auction result of EUR 112,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pollen von Wolfgang Laib zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.753,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wolfgang Laib erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Milkstone im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 112.500,00.
