Artwork auctioned at 25 times the upper estimate price
When this work without title 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 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 25 times as high at USD 12,600.00 (€ 10,818.24). 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 25-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel 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 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 12.600,00 (€ 10.818,24) mehr als 25-mal 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.
