In the Land, Sea, Sky: Online Auction auction, the work Trench | dug over two days | earth brought to an edge | clay supported with sticks | cold, darkly overcast but no rain | a hot day would have caused the clay to dry out | a wet day would have washed the dirt away changed hands for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,818.30) - missing the lower end of the estimate range o Admittedly, works by Andy Goldsworthy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work (i) British Museum (Stonework) (ii) Stonework in February 2005 with an auction result of GBP 28,800.00 (€ 41,763.69).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Andy Goldsworthy konnte im Juni 2020 bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Land, Sea, Sky: Online Auction wechselte die Arbeit Trench | dug over two days | earth brought to an edge | clay supported with sticks | cold, darkly overcast but no rain | a hot day would have caused the clay to dry out | a wet day would have washed the dirt away für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 4.818,30) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00.
