Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2014 Christies in London held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work I Signed On And They Would Not Give Me Nothing (From Signs That Say What You Want Them To Say And Not Signs That Say What Someone Else Wants You To Say) by Gillian Wearing. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,933.64) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gillian Wearing achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (from Album) in May last year with an auction result of USD 63,000.00 (€ 58,708.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit I Signed On And They Would Not Give Me Nothing (From Signs That Say What You Want Them To Say And Not Signs That Say What Someone Else Wants You To Say) von Gillian Wearing zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.933,64) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gillian Wearing erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (from Album) im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 58.708,41).
