Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2021 POLY in Hong Kong held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art and Design Day Sale in association with Phillips, which included the work Someone wants to cut a hole in you... Text: Living (1980-82) by Jenny Holzer. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 250,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 252,000.00 (€ 27,373.73). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2021 führte POLY in Hong Kong die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art and Design Day Sale in association with Phillips durch, in der auch die Arbeit Someone wants to cut a hole in you... Text: Living (1980-82) von Jenny Holzer zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 250.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 252.000,00 (€ 27.373,73) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
