This artwork by Ghada Amer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2017. In the Post War & Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Red & White Lovers sold for GBP 72,500.00 (€ 84,962.84) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ghada Amer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (The Big Blue Expression Painting BBEP), which sold at auction in October 2006 for GBP 120,000.00 (€ 179,290.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 81 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ghada Amer erzielte im März 2017 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post War & Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Red & White Lovers für GBP 72.500,00 (€ 84.962,84) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ghada Amer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (The Big Blue Expression Painting BBEP) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2006 für GBP 120.000,00 (€ 179.290,69) versteigert wurde.
