Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Measuring Niagara With A Teaspoon by Cornelia Parker was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 10,000.00 (€ 8,906.31). Admittedly, works by Cornelia Parker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Alter Ego (Mutiny) in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 46,074.08).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Measuring Niagara With A Teaspoon von Cornelia Parker im März 2019 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 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 10.000,00 (€ 8.906,31) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cornelia Parker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Alter Ego (Mutiny) im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 46.074,08).
