Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Julie Mehretu could be acquired at Phillips in New York in October last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Entropia (construction) changed hands for USD 17,640.00 (€ 17,757.20) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Julie Mehretu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Ground (Deep Light) in April 2019 with an auction result of HKD 44,209,000.00 (€ 5,032,271.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Julie Mehretu konnte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wechselte die Arbeit Entropia (construction) für USD 17.640,00 (€ 17.757,20) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 18.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Julie Mehretu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Ground (Deep Light) im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 44.209.000,00 (€ 5.032.271,67).
