A top price for Walter De Maria - as previously expected
In November 2007 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Evening, which included the work Circle/Rectangle 7 (Large Rod Series) by Walter De Maria. The price achieved of USD 577,000.00 (€ 392,837.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Circle/Rectangle 7 (Large Rod Series) is the most expensive artwork by Walter De Maria that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2007 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening durch, in der auch die Arbeit Circle/Rectangle 7 (Large Rod Series) von Walter De Maria zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 577.000,00 (€ 392.837,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Circle/Rectangle 7 (Large Rod Series) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Walter De Maria, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
