Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2019 Phillips in New York held the auction 20th C. & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included this untitled work by Martin Puryear. The price achieved of USD 475,000.00 (€ 431,073.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Puryear - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in May 2014 for USD 1,805,000.00 (€ 1,323,313.78).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2019 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion 20th C. & Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Martin Puryear zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 475.000,00 (€ 431.073,60) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Martin Puryear mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Mai 2014 für USD 1.805.000,00 (€ 1.323.313,78) versteigert wurde.
