A top price for Thierry Noir
When the work A Certain Degree of Mystery Surrounds The Way I Do My Hair by Thierry Noir was auctioned at Christies in New York in March this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 100,800.00 (€ 114,679.47). This high result makes A Certain Degree of Mystery Surrounds The Way I Do My Hair the most expensive artwork by Thierry Noir that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Thierry Noir
Als die Arbeit A Certain Degree of Mystery Surrounds The Way I Do My Hair von Thierry Noir im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 100.800,00 (€ 114.679,47) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A Certain Degree of Mystery Surrounds The Way I Do My Hair zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Thierry Noir, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
