Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2015 Christies in London held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included the work Meat Abstract No. 6: Cutlery by Helen Chadwick. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,756.04). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Helen Chadwick - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Piss Flowers, which sold at auction in September 2013 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,883.64).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Meat Abstract No. 6: Cutlery von Helen Chadwick zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.756,04) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Helen Chadwick mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Piss Flowers beobachtet, die im September 2013 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 29.883,64) versteigert wurde.
