Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Banksy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in January this year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Laugh Now sold for GBP 75,600.00 (€ 85,807.18) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Banksy erzielte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit Laugh Now für GBP 75.600,00 (€ 85.807,18) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 35.000,00. 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).
