Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Leaning Chartres With Cobalt And Copper Crystals by Roger Hiorns. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,126.46). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Roger Hiorns - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Copper Sulphate Chartres & Copper Sulphate Notre-Dame, which sold at auction in February 2012 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,850.66).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Leaning Chartres With Cobalt And Copper Crystals von Roger Hiorns zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.126,46) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Roger Hiorns mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Copper Sulphate Chartres & Copper Sulphate Notre-Dame beobachtet, die im Februar 2012 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 29.850,66) versteigert wurde.
