Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Untitled, 7.4. 87 by Bob Law was auctioned at Phillips in London in February 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,872.56). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bob Law - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nothing to be Afraid of V 16.7.69, which sold at auction in March this year for GBP 101,100.00 (€ 115,020.78).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Untitled, 7.4. 87 von Bob Law im Februar 2020 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 27.500,00 (€ 31.872,56) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Bob Law mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nothing to be Afraid of V 16.7.69 beobachtet, die im März diesen Jahres für GBP 101.100,00 (€ 115.020,78) versteigert wurde.
