In October 2021 Christies held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work Monumental Face Mask (in Movement) I by Thomas Houseago. The »bidding war« ended at USD 162,500.00 (€ 140,668.28), 63% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Thomas Houseago; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Quake mask sold at auction in June 2019 with the realized price of EUR 225,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit Monumental Face Mask (in Movement) I von Thomas Houseago zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 162.500,00 (€ 140.668,28) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Thomas Houseago; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Quake mask im Juni 2019 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 225.000,00.
