Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design, which included the work Self Portrait by Chuck Close. The price achieved of USD 5,625.00 (€ 5,100.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chuck Close achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gwynne in May 2004 with an auction result of USD 2,807,500.00 (€ 2,298,027.34).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion CONTEMPORARY LIVING – Photographs, Prints & Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit Self Portrait von Chuck Close zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.625,00 (€ 5.100,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chuck Close erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gwynne im Mai 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.807.500,00 (€ 2.298.027,34).
