Auction result well in line with expectations
This work without title by Shusaku Arakawa was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in London in February 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 43,462.59) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Shusaku Arakawa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vertical Thought, which sold at auction in October 2017 for GBP 137,500.00 (€ 156,776.91).
