Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figure #28a by Glenn Ligon was sold in the Post-War to Present auction at Christies in New York in September last year. The price achieved of USD 352,800.00 (€ 360,625.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Glenn Ligon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (I Was Somebody) in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 3,973,000.00 (€ 3,194,243.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figure #28a von Glenn Ligon wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 352.800,00 (€ 360.625,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Glenn Ligon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (I Was Somebody) im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.973.000,00 (€ 3.194.243,45).
