Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Give or Take (How do you feel this morning?) by Louise Bourgeois was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in November last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 18,000.00 – 22,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 14,025.00 (€ 13,586.17). 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Give or Take (How do you feel this morning?) von Louise Bourgeois im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 18.000,00 – 22.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 14.025,00 (€ 13.586,17) den Besitzer. 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).
