Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Black Supper I-V by Andres Serrano was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 125,000.00 (€ 96,242.69) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Andres Serrano - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Piss Christ, which sold at auction in November 2011 for USD 314,500.00 (€ 233,776.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Black Supper I-V von Andres Serrano kam im Mai 2013 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 125.000,00 (€ 96.242,69) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Andres Serrano mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Piss Christ beobachtet, die im November 2011 für USD 314.500,00 (€ 233.776,85) versteigert wurde.
