Auction result well in line with expectations
In September last year Phillips in New York held the auction New Now, which included the work Wheat Field with Cypresses, after Van Gogh from the series Pictures of Magazines 2 by Vik Muniz. The price achieved of USD 63,000.00 (€ 64,397.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Admittedly, works by Vik Muniz have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 September letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion New Now durch, in der auch die Arbeit Wheat Field with Cypresses, after Van Gogh from the series Pictures of Magazines 2 von Vik Muniz zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 64.397,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Vik Muniz auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
