This artwork by Tracey Emin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February this year. In the 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale auction, the work I told you don’t try to find me sold for GBP 1,362,000.00 (€ 1,553,543.29) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tracey Emin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work My Bed, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 2,546,500.00 (€ 3,211,937.15).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Tracey Emin erzielte im Februar diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit I told you don’t try to find me für GBP 1.362.000,00 (€ 1.553.543,29) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 700.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Tracey Emin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit My Bed beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 2.546.500,00 (€ 3.211.937,15) versteigert wurde.
