Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (I Hate Human Beings) by David Shrigley was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2024, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 6,985.00 (€ 11,690.50). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (I Hate Human Beings) von David Shrigley im Januar 2024 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.985,00 (€ 11.690,50) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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.
