Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2016 Christies in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Pamela Anderson: Voluptuous Attentions, 2001 by David LaChapelle. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 16,311.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David LaChapelle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Addicted to Diamonds, 1997, which sold at auction in May 2016 for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 35,884.60).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pamela Anderson: Voluptuous Attentions, 2001 von David LaChapelle zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 16.311,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von David LaChapelle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Addicted to Diamonds, 1997 beobachtet, die im Mai 2016 für GBP 27.500,00 (€ 35.884,60) versteigert wurde.
