Auction result misses estimated price range
In April this year a collector was able to acquire the work Expedition to the Holy Land by A. R. Penck for USD 4,032.00 (€ 3,652.17). This price was achieved in the auction The Sale of the Century: An Important Corporate Collection of Prints and Multiples: Online at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by A. R. Penck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Welt Des Adlers I (World Of The Eagle I) in February 2020 with an auction result of GBP 531,000.00 (€ 615,430.20).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Expedition to the Holy Land von A. R. Penck für USD 4.032,00 (€ 3.652,17) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Sale of the Century: An Important Corporate Collection of Prints and Multiples: Online bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von A. R. Penck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Welt Des Adlers I (World Of The Eagle I) im Februar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 531.000,00 (€ 615.430,20).
