Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work I Love Kings Cross and Kings Cross Loves Me, 3 by David Batchelor was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 14,375.00 (€ 17,708.54). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by David Batchelor; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Brick Lane Remix I sold at auction in October 2013 with the realized price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,504.78).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit I Love Kings Cross and Kings Cross Loves Me, 3 von David Batchelor im November 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 14.375,00 (€ 17.708,54) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von David Batchelor; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Brick Lane Remix I im Oktober 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.504,78).
