Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2017 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Standing Figure II by Magdalena Abakanowicz. The price achieved of EUR 40,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 35,000.00 – 45,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Magdalena Abakanowicz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flock (12 Standing Figures, from 'Ragazzi' Cycle) in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 480,500.00 (€ 403,849.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2017 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Standing Figure II von Magdalena Abakanowicz zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 40.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 35.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Magdalena Abakanowicz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flock (12 Standing Figures, from 'Ragazzi' Cycle) im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 480.500,00 (€ 403.849,39).
