Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In April last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Paper & Gold by El Anatsui. The »bidding war« ended at USD 23,940.00 (€ 22,719.94), 33% 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 33 % übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Paper & Gold von El Anatsui zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 23.940,00 (€ 22.719,94) und damit 33% 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).
