Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Turning the World by Anish Kapoor. The »bidding war« ended at USD 6,048.00 (€ 5,343.70), 21% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Anish Kapoor achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 1,945,250.00 (€ 2,471,462.02).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Turning the World von Anish Kapoor zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 6.048,00 (€ 5.343,70) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Anish Kapoor erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.945.250,00 (€ 2.471.462,02).
