A top price for Bjarne Melgaard - as previously expected
The work "Kill Me Before I Do It Myself" by Bjarne Melgaard was auctioned at Bukowski in Stockholm in May 2013. The result of SEK 2,500,000.00 (€ 290,652.91) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of SEK 2,500,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, "Kill Me Before I Do It Myself" is the most expensive artwork by Bjarne Melgaard that we have observed at auctions so far.
