In February 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Maine 2 by Spencer Tunick. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,761.44), 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Spencer Tunick - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Barcelona I (Institut de Cultura) 2003, which sold at auction in May 2007 for USD 30,000.00 (€ 22,299.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Maine 2 von Spencer Tunick zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.761,44) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Spencer Tunick mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Barcelona I (Institut de Cultura) 2003 beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für USD 30.000,00 (€ 22.299,86) versteigert wurde.
