Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Douglas Gordon could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online auction, the work This is What You Want changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,182.84) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Douglas Gordon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait Of You + Me (Elizabeth Taylor/National Velvet) in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 122,500.00 (€ 94,158.34).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Douglas Gordon konnte im Juli 2020 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online wechselte die Arbeit This is What You Want für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.182,84) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Douglas Gordon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait Of You + Me (Elizabeth Taylor/National Velvet) im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 122.500,00 (€ 94.158,34).
