In April this year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Blah, Blah, Blah by Mel Bochner. The »bidding war« ended at USD 44,450.00 (€ 40,262.68), 48% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mel Bochner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blah, Blah, Blah, which sold at auction in July 2020 for USD 187,500.00 (€ 159,249.19).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 48 % übertroffen
Im April diesen Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blah, Blah, Blah von Mel Bochner zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 44.450,00 (€ 40.262,68) und damit 48% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mel Bochner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Blah, Blah, Blah beobachtet, die im Juli 2020 für USD 187.500,00 (€ 159.249,19) versteigert wurde.
