Found at Phillips, London
20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, Lot 9
30. Jun - 30. Jun 2022
Estimate: 450.000 - 550.000 GBP
Price realised: 869.500 GBP
fabric and hanging piece in aluminium, glass and wood vitrine
figure 43.2 x 16.5 x 15.2 cm (17 x 6 1/2 x 5 7/8 in.)
overall 193 x 61 x 61 cm (76 x 24 x 24 in.)
Executed in 2002.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work Couple by Louise Bourgeois was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction at Phillips in London in June last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 869,500.00 (€ 1,010,111.66), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louise Bourgeois achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Spider in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 32,055,000.00 (€ 28,751,457.53).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Couple von Louise Bourgeois wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale bei Phillips in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 869.500,00 (€ 1.010.111,66) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louise Bourgeois erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Spider im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.055.000,00 (€ 28.751.457,53).
