Upper estimate price exceeded by 78 %.
This artwork by Jenny Holzer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in July last year. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art Online auction, the work Truisms Footstool: An Elite Is Inevitable... sold for USD 53,295.00 (€ 52,239.76) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jenny Holzer erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Online wurde die Arbeit Truisms Footstool: An Elite Is Inevitable... für USD 53.295,00 (€ 52.239,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. 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).
