Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Primo 10 by Al Held was sold in the First Open auction at Christies in New York in August 2020. The price achieved of USD 10,000.00 (€ 8,378.02) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Al Held achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Compass Rose in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 312,500.00 (€ 283,601.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Primo 10 von Al Held wurde im August 2020 in der Auktion First Open bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 8.378,02) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Al Held erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Compass Rose im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 312.500,00 (€ 283.601,05).
