Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art (Afternoon Session), which included the work Flea Market Lady by Duane Hanson. The »bidding war« ended at USD 180,000.00 (€ 145,760.79), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Duane Hanson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cowboy, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 428,400.00 (€ 399,217.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art (Afternoon Session) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flea Market Lady von Duane Hanson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 180.000,00 (€ 145.760,79) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Duane Hanson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cowboy beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 428.400,00 (€ 399.217,22) versteigert wurde.
