Upper estimate price exceeded by 89 %.
This artwork by Chris Ofili achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. In the The Collection of Douglas S. Cramer auction, the work without title sold for USD 15,120.00 (€ 13,359.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Chris Ofili achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Holy Virgin Mary in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 2,882,500.00 (€ 4,064,288.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Chris Ofili erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Collection of Douglas S. Cramer wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für USD 15.120,00 (€ 13.359,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Chris Ofili erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Holy Virgin Mary im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.882.500,00 (€ 4.064.288,82).
