Artwork auctioned at 31 times the upper estimate price
When the work Self-Portrait by Meret Oppenheim was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 31 times as high at EUR 9,375.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Meret Oppenheim achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Condition Humaine in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 197,000.00 (€ 232,440.63).
Kunstwerk zum 31-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Self-Portrait von Meret Oppenheim im Mai 2021 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 9.375,00 mehr als 31-mal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Meret Oppenheim erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Condition Humaine im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 197.000,00 (€ 232.440,63).
