Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Louise Bourgeois could be acquired at Christies in New York in October last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Prints and Multiples auction, the work He Disappeared Into Complete Silence changed hands for USD 44,100.00 (€ 44,392.99) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louise Bourgeois konnte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Prints and Multiples wechselte die Arbeit He Disappeared Into Complete Silence für USD 44.100,00 (€ 44.392,99) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. 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).
