Upper estimate price exceeded by 71 %.
The work Armpit by Robert Mapplethorpe was auctioned at Phillips in London in November last year. It achieved a price of GBP 11,970.00 (€ 13,870.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 71%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Mapplethorpe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 548,750.00 (€ 625,682.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 71 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Armpit von Robert Mapplethorpe kam im November letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 11.970,00 (€ 13.870,50) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 71%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Mapplethorpe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 548.750,00 (€ 625.682,41).
