Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Tracey Emin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November last year. In the Le Jeune, A Collecting Legacy: The London No Reserve Edit auction, the work Exploration of the Soul sold for GBP 1,386.00 (€ 1,606.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tracey Emin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work My Bed in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 2,546,500.00 (€ 3,211,937.15).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tracey Emin erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Le Jeune, A Collecting Legacy: The London No Reserve Edit wurde die Arbeit Exploration of the Soul für GBP 1.386,00 (€ 1.606,06) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tracey Emin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit My Bed im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.546.500,00 (€ 3.211.937,15).
