Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Franz West could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in March last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Curated auction, the work Plato's Sonne Skizze changed hands for USD 63,000.00 (€ 56,792.57) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz West achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 871,500.00 (€ 775,631.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Franz West konnte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated wechselte die Arbeit Plato's Sonne Skizze für USD 63.000,00 (€ 56.792,57) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz West erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 871.500,00 (€ 775.631,90).
