The work Veil of Mother's Tenderness by Damien Hirst was sold in the 21st Century Evening Sale auction at Christies in New York in November last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,980,000.00 (€ 1,918,047.08), 32% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Damien Hirst have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Lullaby Spring in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 9,652,000.00 (€ 14,323,082.54).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Veil of Mother's Tenderness von Damien Hirst wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion 21st Century Evening Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.980.000,00 (€ 1.918.047,08) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis.
