A top price for Jan Fabre
When the work The Tree of Life (Sacer oro rosso) by Jan Fabre was auctioned at Sothebys in Milan in April last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at EUR 315,000.00. This high result makes The Tree of Life (Sacer oro rosso) the most expensive artwork by Jan Fabre that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jan Fabre
Als die Arbeit The Tree of Life (Sacer oro rosso) von Jan Fabre im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Mailand versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 315.000,00 mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Tree of Life (Sacer oro rosso) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jan Fabre, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
