Auction result well in line with expectations

In March this year Christies in New York held the auction Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design, which included the work MoMA Bauhaus Stairway, 2013 by Hiroshi Sugimoto. The price achieved of USD 100,800.00 (€ 92,715.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hiroshi Sugimoto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Sea, Ozuluce; Yellow Sea, Cheju; Red Sea, Safaga in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 1,888,000.00 (€ 1,403,404.45).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Art of Collecting: A Pacific Island Connoisseur of Art and Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit MoMA Bauhaus Stairway, 2013 von Hiroshi Sugimoto zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 100.800,00 (€ 92.715,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hiroshi Sugimoto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Sea, Ozuluce; Yellow Sea, Cheju; Red Sea, Safaga im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.888.000,00 (€ 1.403.404,45).
