Upper estimate price exceeded by 85 %.
This artwork by Kiki Smith achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March last year. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Bird with Stars sold for USD 2,772.00 (€ 2,498.87) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kiki Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2005 with an auction result of USD 284,800.00 (€ 241,560.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 85 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kiki Smith erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wurde die Arbeit Bird with Stars für USD 2.772,00 (€ 2.498,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kiki Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 284.800,00 (€ 241.560,64).
