Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Vesturey I by Richard Serra was sold in the Contemporary Edition auction at Christies in New York in July last year. The price achieved of USD 13,860.00 (€ 13,585.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Serra achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L.A. Cone in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 4,267,750.00 (€ 3,285,917.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Vesturey I von Richard Serra wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Edition bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 13.860,00 (€ 13.585,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Serra erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L.A. Cone im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.267.750,00 (€ 3.285.917,77).
