Auction result misses estimated price range
In May this year a collector was able to acquire this work without title by Christopher Wool for USD 10,070,000.00 (€ 9,451,849.07). This price was achieved in the auction A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 15,000,000.00 – 20,000,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Christopher Wool - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Riot), which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 29,930,000.00 (€ 27,223,940.33).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Christopher Wool für USD 10.070.000,00 (€ 9.451.849,07) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part I bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000.000,00 – 20.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Christopher Wool mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (Riot) beobachtet, die im Mai 2015 für USD 29.930.000,00 (€ 27.223.940,33) versteigert wurde.
