Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Still Life with a Bouquet of Fruits, after Caravaggio (from 'Pictures of Magazines') by Vik Muniz was sold in the Photographs auction at Bonhams in London in October this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 15,360.00 (€ 14,534.44) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vik Muniz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by 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 in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 293,000.00 (€ 277,409.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Still Life with a Bouquet of Fruits, after Caravaggio (from 'Pictures of Magazines') von Vik Muniz wurde im Oktober diesen Jahres in der Auktion Photographs bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 15.360,00 (€ 14.534,44) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vik Muniz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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 im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 293.000,00 (€ 277.409,58).
