Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In December 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art | New York, which included the work Benita by Elizabeth Murray. The »bidding war« ended at USD 88,200.00 (€ 77,928.96), 47% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Elizabeth Murray have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Little Fingers in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 437,500.00 (€ 397,041.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art | New York durch, in der auch die Arbeit Benita von Elizabeth Murray zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 88.200,00 (€ 77.928,96) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Elizabeth Murray auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Little Fingers im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 437.500,00 (€ 397.041,47).
