Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Wangechi Mutu was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2019. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,267.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wangechi Mutu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Little Thought for All Ya'll Who're Thinking of Beating Around the Bush in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 204,500.00 (€ 267,477.97).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Wangechi Mutu kam im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.267,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wangechi Mutu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Little Thought for All Ya'll Who're Thinking of Beating Around the Bush im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 204.500,00 (€ 267.477,97).
