Auction result well in line with expectations
In June last year Sothebys in Cologne held the auction Living Contemporary, which included the work Horse by Jiri Georg Dokoupil. The price achieved of EUR 5,040.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jiri Georg Dokoupil achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Zigarette mit Streichhölzern (aus der Schnuller-Bilder Serie) [Cigarette with Matches (from the Pacifier Series)|AID387265] in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 312,000.00 (€ 231,918.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Köln die Auktion Living Contemporary durch, in der auch die Arbeit Horse von Jiri Georg Dokoupil zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 5.040,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jiri Georg Dokoupil erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Zigarette mit Streichhölzern (aus der Schnuller-Bilder Serie) [Cigarette with Matches (from the Pacifier Series)|AID387265] im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 312.000,00 (€ 231.918,53).
