Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.
In October 2021 Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Untitled (Reach out and Touch Someone), from Brooklyn Academy of Music Portfolio II by Barbara Kruger. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,788.00 (€ 4,144.74), 37% above the upper estimate. 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 37 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Reach out and Touch Someone), from Brooklyn Academy of Music Portfolio II von Barbara Kruger zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.788,00 (€ 4.144,74) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
