Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Christies in New York held the auction 20th Century Evening Sale, which included the work Pieces of Pumpkin by Wayne Thiebaud. The price achieved of USD 3,660,000.00 (€ 3,545,480.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wayne Thiebaud - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Encased Cakes, which sold at auction in July last year for HKD 79,200,000.00 (€ 9,882,532.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion 20th Century Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pieces of Pumpkin von Wayne Thiebaud zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.660.000,00 (€ 3.545.480,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Wayne Thiebaud mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Encased Cakes beobachtet, die im Juli letzten Jahres für HKD 79.200.000,00 (€ 9.882.532,84) versteigert wurde.
