Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In July 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Prints and Multiples Online, which included the work Schlange (Snake) by Katharina Fritsch. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,250.00 (€ 1,123.09), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Katharina Fritsch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Geist und Blutlache in October 2005 with an auction result of GBP 159,200.00 (€ 234,771.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Prints and Multiples Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Schlange (Snake) von Katharina Fritsch zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.250,00 (€ 1.123,09) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Katharina Fritsch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Geist und Blutlache im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 159.200,00 (€ 234.771,89).
