A top price for Martha Rosler
When the work Bringing The War Home: House Beautiful by Martha Rosler was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 45,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 156,000.00 (€ 121,561.60). This high result makes Bringing The War Home: House Beautiful the most expensive artwork by Martha Rosler that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Martha Rosler
Als die Arbeit Bringing The War Home: House Beautiful von Martha Rosler im Mai 2006 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 45.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 156.000,00 (€ 121.561,60) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bringing The War Home: House Beautiful zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Martha Rosler, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
