Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July this year Phillips in London held the auction New Now, which included the work Series of vulnerable arrangements, a pair of halves by Haegue Yang. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 30,480.00 (€ 35,560.92), 22% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Haegue Yang - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Central Composition in Explosion – Trustworthy ‘For Sophie Taeuber’ #184, which sold at auction in July 2020 for HKD 812,500.00 (€ 89,020.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Phillips in London die Auktion New Now durch, in der auch die Arbeit Series of vulnerable arrangements, a pair of halves von Haegue Yang zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 30.480,00 (€ 35.560,92) und damit 22% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Haegue Yang mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Central Composition in Explosion – Trustworthy ‘For Sophie Taeuber’ #184 beobachtet, die im Juli 2020 für HKD 812.500,00 (€ 89.020,30) versteigert wurde.
