Prices and auctions

The highest initial price, at current auctions, in August 2016, was Giorgio di Chirico’s, his work dating back to 1968 I GRANDI ARCHEOLOGI. It's not big -175 x 113.5 x 101 cm, made of bronze and is being sold by Giorgio de Chirico foundation and and foundry. The price is one million euro. Once sold, I will tell you how far the auction has gone.

I adore the vendor’s observation – here it is: Very rare never been on Auction. Piece Unique. certificated and archieved at GIORGIO DE CHIRICO FOUNDATION. Very interesting Price .... the fact is that it is really a very interesting price – that is why I publish the work.

Otherwise prices are normal at the moment - check two randomly chosen artists Johann Eyfells and his work Seven Cubes of 1980, it is made of bronze and its dimensions are 30.48 x 30.48 x 30.48 cm. The starting price is 100 000 USD.

And the other author I picked up for you is Ewerdt Higemann from Switzerland. His work Imploded Pyramid was estimated at 100 000, but in euro. Well, it is bigger, it is for open space, and moreover it is 300 x 150 x 150 cm. The sculpture was created in 2000 in a Roland Aphold Gallery on the occasion of his exhibition.

In New York in 2014 under the auspices of the Sculpture Fund at the New York parks, the artist exhibited a series of seven monumental sculptures on Park Avenue. Right now his sculpture is in Basel. When selling abroad, delivery, customs and VAT are borne by the seller. The current price of the gallery is 120 000 EUR.

The main conclusion is that if you want to yearn one million euro out of sculpture, you need to have created it in the middle of last century at the latest. Now we know what’s the catch!
