This artwork by Edmund de Waal achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in March last year. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Einmal sold for GBP 34,020.00 (€ 40,334.54) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edmund de Waal - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A short history of the shadow, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 118,750.00 (€ 137,741.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edmund de Waal erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Einmal für GBP 34.020,00 (€ 40.334,54) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Edmund de Waal mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A short history of the shadow beobachtet, die im Oktober 2019 für GBP 118.750,00 (€ 137.741,48) versteigert wurde.
