Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Secret by Urs Fischer was worth USD 2,580,000.00 (€ 2,404,249.37) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of Thomas and Doris Ammann Evening Sale at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 800,000.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Urs Fischer; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Untitled (Lamp/Bear) sold at auction in May 2011 with the realized price of USD 6,802,500.00 (€ 4,731,844.74).
