Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.
The work The Divorce from the series True Stories (The Autobiographies) by Sophie Calle was sold in the Under the Influence auction at Phillips in New York in September 2013. The »bidding war« ended at USD 21,250.00 (€ 15,700.04), 42% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sophie Calle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sleepers (Les dormeurs) in November 2011 with an auction result of USD 218,500.00 (€ 162,417.30).

Die Arbeit The Divorce from the series True Stories (The Autobiographies) von Sophie Calle wurde im September 2013 in der Auktion Under the Influence bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 15.700,04) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sophie Calle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sleepers (Les dormeurs) im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 218.500,00 (€ 162.417,30).
