Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Bruce Nauman could be acquired at Phillips in New York in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session auction, the work Untitled (Cross Beams) changed hands for USD 27,940.00 (€ 26,224.89) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bruce Nauman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 8,996,400.00 (€ 7,377,726.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bruce Nauman konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session wechselte die Arbeit Untitled (Cross Beams) für USD 27.940,00 (€ 26.224,89) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bruce Nauman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.996.400,00 (€ 7.377.726,75).
