Auction result well in line with expectations
In May this year Phillips in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work The Poppy Field at Argenteuil, after Claude Monet from Pictures of Pigment by Vik Muniz. The price achieved of GBP 22,860.00 (€ 26,597.76) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Phillips in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Poppy Field at Argenteuil, after Claude Monet from Pictures of Pigment von Vik Muniz zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 22.860,00 (€ 26.597,76) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
