Auction result well in line with expectations
In March this year Christies in London held the auction Contemporary Edition: London, which included the work Bomb Hugger (Bomb Love) by Banksy. The price achieved of GBP 18,900.00 (€ 21,502.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Banksy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Love is in the Bin in October 2021 with an auction result of GBP 18,582,000.00 (€ 22,014,651.32).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Contemporary Edition: London durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bomb Hugger (Bomb Love) von Banksy zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 18.900,00 (€ 21.502,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Banksy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Love is in the Bin im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.582.000,00 (€ 22.014.651,32).
