Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Cousteau Totem (Jacques and his Pudenda) by Ashley Bickerton was auctioned at Phillips in London in December 2014. The price achieved of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 48,274.94) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ashley Bickerton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seascape: Floating Costume to Drift for Eternity II, which sold at auction in November 2013 for USD 221,000.00 (€ 162,428.34).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Cousteau Totem (Jacques and his Pudenda) von Ashley Bickerton kam im Dezember 2014 bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.500,00 (€ 48.274,94) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Ashley Bickerton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Seascape: Floating Costume to Drift for Eternity II beobachtet, die im November 2013 für USD 221.000,00 (€ 162.428,34) versteigert wurde.
