Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Group of eight Untitled cups, 1978-79 by Kenneth Price was auctioned at Bonhams in April this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 7,650.00 (€ 6,929.35) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kenneth Price achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work M. Green in May this year with an auction result of USD 554,400.00 (€ 520,367.94).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Group of eight Untitled cups, 1978-79 von Kenneth Price kam im April diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 7.650,00 (€ 6.929,35) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kenneth Price erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit M. Green im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 554.400,00 (€ 520.367,94).
