Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Pont Neuf, Wrapped (Project for Paris) by Christo was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 44,000.00 (€ 52,166.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 35,000.00 – 55,000.00. 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.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Pont Neuf, Wrapped (Project for Paris) von Christo kam im März letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 44.000,00 (€ 52.166,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 35.000,00 – 55.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
