Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Grid Painting (Black, White, Brown, Yellow) by Mark Francis was sold in the New Now auction at Phillips in New York in September 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,878.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Mark Francis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Symbiosis (Mesh) in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 32,450.00 (€ 41,228.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Grid Painting (Black, White, Brown, Yellow) von Mark Francis wurde im September 2017 in der Auktion New Now bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.878,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mark Francis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Symbiosis (Mesh) im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.450,00 (€ 41.228,09).
