Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Monument Stalagmite / Visine Dream by Sterling Ruby was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in London in November 2021. The price achieved of GBP 31,500.00 (€ 36,983.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sterling Ruby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sp231 in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 1,785,000.00 (€ 1,374,345.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Monument Stalagmite / Visine Dream von Sterling Ruby wurde im November 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Curated bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 31.500,00 (€ 36.983,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sterling Ruby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sp231 im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.785.000,00 (€ 1.374.345,55).
