Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2021 a collector was able to acquire the work Mosquito by Louise Bourgeois for USD 8,925.00 (€ 7,885.67). This price was achieved in the auction Post-War & Contemporary ArtFeaturing a Selection of Modern & Contemporary African Art at Bonhams in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. 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

Im Dezember 2021 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Mosquito von Louise Bourgeois für USD 8.925,00 (€ 7.885,67) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary ArtFeaturing a Selection of Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Bonhams in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. 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).
