In March this year Bonhams held the auction Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Running Fence (Project for Sonoma County and Marin County, State of California) 22 x 28 in. (55.9 x 71.1 cm) framed 22 1/4 x 28 1/4 x 1 5/8 in. by Christo. The »bidding war« ended at USD 69,675.00 (€ 64,086.64), 39% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 1,706,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Running Fence (Project for Sonoma County and Marin County, State of California) 22 x 28 in. (55.9 x 71.1 cm) framed 22 1/4 x 28 1/4 x 1 5/8 in. von Christo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 69.675,00 (€ 64.086,64) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.706.500,00.
