Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In October last year Christies in London held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Eye see you by Olafur Eliasson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 63,000.00 (€ 73,394.30), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Olafur Eliasson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fivefold Eye in October 2007 with an auction result of GBP 748,500.00 (€ 1,074,895.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Eye see you von Olafur Eliasson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 63.000,00 (€ 73.394,30) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Olafur Eliasson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fivefold Eye im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 748.500,00 (€ 1.074.895,25).
