Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Is Legal Sex Anal? by Tracey Emin was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in October this year. The price achieved of GBP 50,400.00 (€ 57,873.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 45,000.00 – 65,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Is Legal Sex Anal? von Tracey Emin wurde im Oktober diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 50.400,00 (€ 57.873,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 45.000,00 – 65.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
