Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Napalm by Banksy was sold in the Contemporary Discoveries auction at Sothebys in London in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,680.00 (€ 26,680.86), 26% 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 um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Napalm von Banksy wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Discoveries bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.680,00 (€ 26.680,86) und damit 26% 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).
