Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March 2006 Christies in New York held the auction first open - Post War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Old Salem: A Family of Strangers by Fred Wilson. The »bidding war« ended at USD 9,600.00 (€ 7,908.39), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fred Wilson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bat in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 118,750.00 (€ 91,430.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion first open - Post War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Old Salem: A Family of Strangers von Fred Wilson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 9.600,00 (€ 7.908,39) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fred Wilson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bat im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 91.430,55).
