Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.
In April 2021 Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Gold Band by El Anatsui. The »bidding war« ended at USD 81,900.00 (€ 68,079.80), 37% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by El Anatsui achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Prophet in May this year with an auction result of USD 2,228,000.00 (€ 2,091,233.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen
Im April 2021 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gold Band von El Anatsui zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 68.079,80) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von El Anatsui erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Prophet im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.228.000,00 (€ 2.091.233,34).
