UNTITLED 2008 (50 EURO FREIHEIT KANN MAN NICHT SIMULIEREN)
Screenprint on a 50 euro banknote, 2008, contained in a black leather wallet, with the stamped signature on the original cardboard box and numbered 58/75 in pencil
Neugerriemschneider, Berlin | Gifted by the above to David Teiger in 2008

Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.

The work Untitled 2008 (50 Euro Freiheit Kann Man Nicht Simulieren) by Rirkrit Tiravanija was sold in the Contemporary Prints and Multiples Online auction at Sothebys in New York in July 2019. The »bidding war« ended at USD 625.00 (€ 561.55), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rirkrit Tiravanija achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (THE DAYS OF THIS SOCIETY IS NUMBERED) in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 98,280.00 (€ 83,692.41).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Untitled 2008 (50 Euro Freiheit Kann Man Nicht Simulieren) von Rirkrit Tiravanija wurde im Juli 2019 in der Auktion Contemporary Prints and Multiples Online bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 625,00 (€ 561,55) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rirkrit Tiravanija erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (THE DAYS OF THIS SOCIETY IS NUMBERED) im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 98.280,00 (€ 83.692,41).
