Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Mickalene Thomas achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2021. In the Contemporary Art Evening Auction auction, the work Clarivel Left sold for GBP 456,650.00 (€ 541,006.92) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mickalene Thomas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit, which sold at auction in May 2021 for USD 1,830,000.00 (€ 1,500,738.07).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mickalene Thomas erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction wurde die Arbeit Clarivel Left für GBP 456.650,00 (€ 541.006,92) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 200.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mickalene Thomas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für USD 1.830.000,00 (€ 1.500.738,07) versteigert wurde.
