Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Heavy Weaponary (Multi-Coloured Background) by Banksy was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 85,250.00 (€ 100,417.37). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Banksy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Love is in the Bin in October 2021 with an auction result of GBP 18,582,000.00 (€ 22,014,651.32).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Heavy Weaponary (Multi-Coloured Background) von Banksy im Februar 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 85.250,00 (€ 100.417,37) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Banksy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Love is in the Bin im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.582.000,00 (€ 22.014.651,32).
