Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Captain Ballsack von Paul McCarthy kam im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 226.800,00 (€ 208.609,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Paul McCarthy auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tripod im Mai 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.045.000,00 (€ 1.836.551,41).
