Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'White Pope' (From Immersions) by Andres Serrano was sold in the Photographs auction at Sothebys in New York in April 2021. The price achieved of USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,807.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andres Serrano achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Piss Christ in November 2011 with an auction result of USD 314,500.00 (€ 233,776.85).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 'White Pope' (From Immersions) von Andres Serrano wurde im April 2021 in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 6.807,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andres Serrano erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Piss Christ im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 314.500,00 (€ 233.776,85).
