A top price for Grayson Perry
When the work I Want To Be An Artist by Grayson Perry was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 632,750.00 (€ 721,458.86). This high result makes I Want To Be An Artist the most expensive artwork by Grayson Perry that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Grayson Perry
Als die Arbeit I Want To Be An Artist von Grayson Perry im Oktober 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 632.750,00 (€ 721.458,86) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht I Want To Be An Artist zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Grayson Perry, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
