A top price for Cinga Samson
When the work Lift Off by Cinga Samson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 321,300.00 (€ 380,653.72). This high result makes Lift Off the most expensive artwork by Cinga Samson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Cinga Samson
Als die Arbeit Lift Off von Cinga Samson im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 321.300,00 (€ 380.653,72) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Lift Off zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Cinga Samson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
