Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2014 Christies in London held the auction Essl: 44 Works, which included the work Kuwait Stock Exchange I by Andreas Gursky. The price achieved of GBP 602,500.00 (€ 769,305.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Andreas Gursky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 99 Cent Ii, Diptych, which sold at auction in February 2007 for GBP 1,700,000.00 (€ 2,520,188.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Essl: 44 Works durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kuwait Stock Exchange I von Andreas Gursky zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 602.500,00 (€ 769.305,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Andreas Gursky mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 99 Cent Ii, Diptych beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für GBP 1.700.000,00 (€ 2.520.188,96) versteigert wurde.
