Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In September 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work Arctic by John McCracken. The »bidding war« ended at USD 137,500.00 (€ 126,088.95), 72% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by John McCracken 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 November 2015 with an auction result of USD 965,000.00 (€ 913,652.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Im September 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit Arctic von John McCracken zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 137.500,00 (€ 126.088,95) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John McCracken auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 965.000,00 (€ 913.652,72).
