Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction, which included the work The Real Thing by Glenn Brown. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 600,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 680,500.00 (€ 755,637.20). Admittedly, works by Glenn Brown have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Tragic Conversion Of Salvador Dalí (After John Martin) in June 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,193,250.00 (€ 6,430,479.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Real Thing von Glenn Brown zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 600.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 680.500,00 (€ 755.637,20) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Glenn Brown auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Tragic Conversion Of Salvador Dalí (After John Martin) im Juni 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.193.250,00 (€ 6.430.479,91).
