Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Choose Your Weapon (Grey) by Banksy was auctioned at Christies in September 2021. The price achieved of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 145,439.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. 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

Die Arbeit Choose Your Weapon (Grey) von Banksy kam im September 2021 bei Christies zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 145.439,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 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).
