This artwork by David Shrigley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in January this year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Life is Fantastic sold for GBP 8,820.00 (€ 10,010.84) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Shrigley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (It's OK), which sold at auction in March last year for USD 44,100.00 (€ 39,754.80).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von David Shrigley erzielte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit Life is Fantastic für GBP 8.820,00 (€ 10.010,84) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von David Shrigley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (It's OK) beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für USD 44.100,00 (€ 39.754,80) versteigert wurde.
