Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Curated, which included the work National Career Lamp by Olafur Eliasson. The price achieved of GBP 25,200.00 (€ 28,131.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Curated durch, in der auch die Arbeit National Career Lamp von Olafur Eliasson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.200,00 (€ 28.131,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
