Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work From Some Thames - Group F by Roni Horn was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,684.28). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roni Horn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Water (The River Thames, For Example) in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 378,000.00 (€ 324,547.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit From Some Thames - Group F von Roni Horn im März 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.684,28) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roni Horn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Water (The River Thames, For Example) im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 378.000,00 (€ 324.547,09).
