Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work Untitled (You Deserve Great Things) by Joel Mesler was auctioned at Christies in Shanghai in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - CNY 900,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at CNY 5,670,000.00 (€ 806,056.97). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Joel Mesler; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot To Life sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of USD 907,200.00 (€ 845,401.17).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Untitled (You Deserve Great Things) von Joel Mesler im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in Shanghai versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – CNY 900.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit CNY 5.670.000,00 (€ 806.056,97) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Joel Mesler; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit To Life im Mai letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 907.200,00 (€ 845.401,17).
