Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work S.D. by Gerhard Richter was sold in the Contemporary Art Evening Auction auction at Sothebys in London in October 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 9,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 9,619,800.00 (€ 11,396,864.85). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gerhard Richter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Abstraktes Bild, which sold at auction in February 2015 for GBP 30,389,000.00 (€ 41,901,917.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit S.D. von Gerhard Richter wurde im Oktober 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 9.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 9.619.800,00 (€ 11.396.864,85) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Gerhard Richter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Abstraktes Bild beobachtet, die im Februar 2015 für GBP 30.389.000,00 (€ 41.901.917,57) versteigert wurde.
