A top price for Enzo Plazzotta

When the work Downfall by Enzo Plazzotta was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,347.91). This high result makes Downfall the most expensive artwork by Enzo Plazzotta that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Enzo Plazzotta

Als die Arbeit Downfall von Enzo Plazzotta im März 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 18.750,00 (€ 21.347,91) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Downfall zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Enzo Plazzotta, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
