Upper estimate price exceeded by 92 %.
This artwork by Barbara Kruger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. In the Contemporary Art | New York auction, the work Untitled (My hero!/You can dress him up but you can't take him out) sold for USD 47,880.00 (€ 42,304.29) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barbara Kruger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 um 92 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Barbara Kruger erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art | New York wurde die Arbeit Untitled (My hero!/You can dress him up but you can't take him out) für USD 47.880,00 (€ 42.304,29) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barbara Kruger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Your Manias Become Science) im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.170.000,00 (€ 1.036.590,77).
