Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Christo could be acquired at Christies in New York in May last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs auction, the work Wrapped Walkways, Project for Jacob L. Loose Park, Kansas City, Missouri changed hands for USD 63,000.00 (€ 58,708.41) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Christo konnte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs wechselte die Arbeit Wrapped Walkways, Project for Jacob L. Loose Park, Kansas City, Missouri für USD 63.000,00 (€ 58.708,41) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. 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.
