Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Laments 2 by Jenny Holzer was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 2,520.00 (€ 2,987.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jenny Holzer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Arno Pair in May last year with an auction result of USD 1,560,000.00 (€ 1,453,732.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Laments 2 von Jenny Holzer kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.520,00 (€ 2.987,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jenny Holzer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Arno Pair im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.560.000,00 (€ 1.453.732,18).
