Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction This is Tomorrow: Works from the David Ross Collection, which included the work Sphinx (Caryatid) by Marc Quinn. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 36,540.00 (€ 42,514.80), 22% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion This is Tomorrow: Works from the David Ross Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sphinx (Caryatid) von Marc Quinn zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 36.540,00 (€ 42.514,80) und damit 22% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
