Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Jupiter Sahara by Brion Gysin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,572.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Brion Gysin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dreamachine, which sold at auction in October 2020 for USD 32,760.00 (€ 28,127.41).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Jupiter Sahara von Brion Gysin im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 8.820,00 (€ 7.572,77) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Brion Gysin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dreamachine beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für USD 32.760,00 (€ 28.127,41) versteigert wurde.
