Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Myth of Depth II by Mark Tansey was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,175,000.00 (€ 2,881,386.70) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mark Tansey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Source Of The Loue, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 7,453,600.00 (€ 6,386,975.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Myth of Depth II von Mark Tansey kam im November 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.175.000,00 (€ 2.881.386,70) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Mark Tansey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Source Of The Loue beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 7.453.600,00 (€ 6.386.975,15) versteigert wurde.
