Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2021 Phillips in London held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work Elephant Dung by David Hammons. It changed hands for a price of GBP 226,800.00 (€ 268,696.75) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Hammons achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 8,005,000.00 (€ 5,883,433.78).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2021 führte Phillips in London die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elephant Dung von David Hammons zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 226.800,00 (€ 268.696,75) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Hammons erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.005.000,00 (€ 5.883.433,78).
