Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Doug Aitken achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in April 2018. In the New Now auction, the work ultraviolet sold for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,829.89) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Doug Aitken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work West in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 326,500.00 (€ 250,460.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Doug Aitken erzielte im April 2018 bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion New Now wurde die Arbeit ultraviolet für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.829,89) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Doug Aitken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit West im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 326.500,00 (€ 250.460,26).
