Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2016 Christies in New York held the auction FIRST OPEN | Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Toy by Saint Clair Cemin. The price achieved of USD 35,000.00 (€ 30,728.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Saint Clair Cemin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Large Table), which sold at auction in November 2004 for USD 95,600.00 (€ 72,101.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion FIRST OPEN | Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Toy von Saint Clair Cemin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 30.728,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Saint Clair Cemin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (Large Table) beobachtet, die im November 2004 für USD 95.600,00 (€ 72.101,97) versteigert wurde.
