Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Obscene by Mel Bochner was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020. The price achieved of USD 23,940.00 (€ 20,554.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Mel Bochner have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Blah, Blah, Blah in July 2020 with an auction result of USD 187,500.00 (€ 159,249.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Obscene von Mel Bochner kam im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 23.940,00 (€ 20.554,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mel Bochner auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Blah, Blah, Blah im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 187.500,00 (€ 159.249,19).
