Auction result well in line with expectations
In October last year Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Flag, after Jasper Johns from Pictures of Pigment by Vik Muniz. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 88,200.00 (€ 88,785.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vik Muniz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Sugar Children: Valentina, The Fastest; Jacynthe Loves Orange Juice; Big James Sweats Buckets; Lil' Calist Can'T Swim; Valicia Bathes In Sunday Clothes; Ten Ten'S Weed Necklace, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 293,000.00 (€ 277,409.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flag, after Jasper Johns from Pictures of Pigment von Vik Muniz zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 88.785,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Vik Muniz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Sugar Children: Valentina, The Fastest; Jacynthe Loves Orange Juice; Big James Sweats Buckets; Lil' Calist Can'T Swim; Valicia Bathes In Sunday Clothes; Ten Ten'S Weed Necklace beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 293.000,00 (€ 277.409,58) versteigert wurde.
