Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
In October last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Emily D.; and Virgin with Dove, from Blue Prints (W. 120 & 122) by Kiki Smith. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,040.00 (€ 5,073.49), 44% above the upper estimate. 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 44 % übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Emily D.; and Virgin with Dove, from Blue Prints (W. 120 & 122) von Kiki Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 5.073,49) und damit 44% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
