This artwork by Louise Bourgeois achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July last year. In the First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online auction, the work The Age of Condom Come sold for GBP 12,600.00 (€ 15,046.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. 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 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louise Bourgeois erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online wurde die Arbeit The Age of Condom Come für GBP 12.600,00 (€ 15.046,64) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00. 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).
