This work without title by Chris Ofili was sold in the Contemporary Art | New York auction at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 12,600.00 (€ 11,132.71), 58% above the upper estimate. 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 58 % übertroffen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Chris Ofili wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art | New York bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 12.600,00 (€ 11.132,71) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
