Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Bend Sinister by Cecily Brown was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 6,353,700.00 (€ 5,629,219.46). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Cecily Brown; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Untitled (The Beautiful and Damned) sold at auction in May this year with the realized price of USD 6,705,000.00 (€ 6,293,410.93).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Bend Sinister von Cecily Brown im November 2021 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 1.200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.353.700,00 (€ 5.629.219,46) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Cecily Brown; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Untitled (The Beautiful and Damned) im Mai diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 6.705.000,00 (€ 6.293.410,93).
