Auction result well in line with expectations
In April last year Bonhams in London held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Sleeping Mask by Gillian Wearing. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 892.50 (€ 1,064.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gillian Wearing achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (from Album) in May last year with an auction result of USD 63,000.00 (€ 58,708.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sleeping Mask von Gillian Wearing zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 892,50 (€ 1.064,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gillian Wearing erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (from Album) im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 58.708,41).
