Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Josephine Meckseper achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in July 2020. In the New Now auction, the work The Possibility of an Island sold for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,125.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Josephine Meckseper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Hammer And Sickle No. 2), which sold at auction in June 2012 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 39,469.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Josephine Meckseper erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion New Now wurde die Arbeit The Possibility of an Island für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.125,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Josephine Meckseper mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled (Hammer And Sickle No. 2) beobachtet, die im Juni 2012 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 39.469,53) versteigert wurde.
