Auction result well in line with expectations
In March last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work Pleonasm by Franz West. The price achieved of USD 176,400.00 (€ 159,019.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Admittedly, works by Franz West have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 871,500.00 (€ 775,631.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pleonasm von Franz West zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 176.400,00 (€ 159.019,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Franz West auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 871.500,00 (€ 775.631,90).
