Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Single Room Furnished by Cecily Brown was auctioned at Christies in London in June last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000,000.00 – 1,500,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 850,000.00 (€ 987,458.21). Admittedly, works by Cecily Brown 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 (The Beautiful and Damned) in May this year with an auction result of USD 6,705,000.00 (€ 6,293,410.93).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Single Room Furnished von Cecily Brown im Juni letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000.000,00 – 1.500.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 850.000,00 (€ 987.458,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cecily Brown auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (The Beautiful and Damned) im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.705.000,00 (€ 6.293.410,93).
