Upper estimate price exceeded by 96 %.
This artwork by Louise Bourgeois achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2018. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Spider sold for USD 137,500.00 (€ 121,434.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 70,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 96 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louise Bourgeois erzielte im November 2018 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Spider für USD 137.500,00 (€ 121.434,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 70.000,00. 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).
