Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by John Chamberlain achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Milan in April last year. In the Contemporary Auction auction, the work Whimzee sold for EUR 315,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Chamberlain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nutcracker in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 5,534,300.00 (€ 4,742,330.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Chamberlain erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Mailand einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Auction wurde die Arbeit Whimzee für EUR 315.000,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Chamberlain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nutcracker im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.534.300,00 (€ 4.742.330,76).
