Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Closed Contact by Jenny Saville was sold in the Editions auction at Phillips in New York in June 2011. The price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 8,607.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jenny Saville achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Propped in October 2018 with an auction result of GBP 9,537,250.00 (€ 10,755,075.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Closed Contact von Jenny Saville wurde im Juni 2011 in der Auktion Editions bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 8.607,04) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jenny Saville erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Propped im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.537.250,00 (€ 10.755.075,69).
