Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Vampire by Sterling Ruby was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 69,300.00 (€ 82,162.95) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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 Vampire von Sterling Ruby kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 69.300,00 (€ 82.162,95) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 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).
