Auction result misses estimated price range
In November last year a collector was able to acquire the work Wedding Souvenir by Claes Oldenburg for USD 1,260.00 (€ 1,220.58). This price was achieved in the auction A Graphic Century including French Impressions: Prints from Ambroise Vollard and Henri M. Petiet at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claes Oldenburg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Clothespin Ten Foot in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 3,637,000.00 (€ 3,443,476.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Wedding Souvenir von Claes Oldenburg für USD 1.260,00 (€ 1.220,58) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Graphic Century including French Impressions: Prints from Ambroise Vollard and Henri M. Petiet bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Claes Oldenburg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Clothespin Ten Foot im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.637.000,00 (€ 3.443.476,61).
