Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In September 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Banksy, which included the work Choose Your Weapon - Bright Pink by Banksy. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 176,400.00 (€ 205,243.85), 18% above the upper estimate. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im September 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Banksy durch, in der auch die Arbeit Choose Your Weapon - Bright Pink von Banksy zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 176.400,00 (€ 205.243,85) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
