Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Extrapolated Morphology by Marc Quinn was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 9,562.50 (€ 11,080.75). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marc Quinn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Myth Venus in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 1,325,000.00 (€ 971,407.62).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Extrapolated Morphology von Marc Quinn im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 9.562,50 (€ 11.080,75) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marc Quinn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Myth Venus im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.325.000,00 (€ 971.407,62).
