Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work I. Face It! (Blue) II. Face It! (Green) by Barbara Kruger. The »bidding war« ended at USD 176,400.00 (€ 159,019.20), 18% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Barbara Kruger have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Untitled (Your Manias Become Science) in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,170,000.00 (€ 1,036,590.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit I. Face It! (Blue) II. Face It! (Green) von Barbara Kruger zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 176.400,00 (€ 159.019,20) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Barbara Kruger auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (Your Manias Become Science) im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.170.000,00 (€ 1.036.590,77).
