In November last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Water Closet Drawing by Donald Baechler. The »bidding war« ended at USD 16,380.00 (€ 15,867.48), 37% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Donald Baechler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Conversazione in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 149,000.00 (€ 171,382.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Water Closet Drawing von Donald Baechler zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 16.380,00 (€ 15.867,48) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Donald Baechler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Conversazione im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 149.000,00 (€ 171.382,56).
