Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Rachel Whiteread could be acquired at Phillips in London in June 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Gold Leaf changed hands for GBP 1,260.00 (€ 1,468.23) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rachel Whiteread achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Colours) in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 445,250.00 (€ 565,695.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Rachel Whiteread konnte im Juni 2021 bei Phillips in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wechselte die Arbeit Gold Leaf für GBP 1.260,00 (€ 1.468,23) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rachel Whiteread erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Colours) im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 445.250,00 (€ 565.695,14).
