Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Rotoreliefs (Optical Disks) (S. 441c) by Marcel Duchamp was sold in the Editions & Works on Paper auction at Phillips in New York in October last year. The price achieved of USD 31,500.00 (€ 31,709.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marcel Duchamp achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Belle haleine - Eau de voilette in February 2009 with an auction result of EUR 8,913,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Rotoreliefs (Optical Disks) (S. 441c) von Marcel Duchamp wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 31.500,00 (€ 31.709,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marcel Duchamp erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Belle haleine - Eau de voilette im Februar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.913.000,00.
