Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2001 Christies in New York held the auction POST WAR (EVENING SALE), which included the work Normal Desires by Bruce Nauman. The »bidding war« ended at USD 424,000.00 (€ 501,478.42), 21% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bruce Nauman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 8,996,400.00 (€ 7,377,726.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in New York die Auktion POST WAR (EVENING SALE) durch, in der auch die Arbeit Normal Desires von Bruce Nauman zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 424.000,00 (€ 501.478,42) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bruce Nauman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.996.400,00 (€ 7.377.726,75).
