Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Glenn Ligon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in October last year. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Narratives sold for USD 40,320.00 (€ 40,587.88) - well above the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Glenn Ligon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (I Was Somebody) in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 3,973,000.00 (€ 3,194,243.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Glenn Ligon erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Narratives für USD 40.320,00 (€ 40.587,88) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 18.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Glenn Ligon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (I Was Somebody) im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.973.000,00 (€ 3.194.243,45).
