Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In July 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Faceless by Shirin Neshat. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 23,940.00 (€ 28,074.61), 33% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Shirin Neshat have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Passage in October 2014 with an auction result of USD 269,000.00 (€ 214,684.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Faceless von Shirin Neshat zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 23.940,00 (€ 28.074,61) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Shirin Neshat auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Passage im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 269.000,00 (€ 214.684,76).
