Despite a disappointment, a good price for Helen Chadwick
When the work Piss Flowers by Helen Chadwick was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,883.64). Despite this disappointing result, Piss Flowers is the most expensive artwork by Helen Chadwick that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Helen Chadwick
Als die Arbeit Piss Flowers von Helen Chadwick im September 2013 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 29.883,64) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Piss Flowers das teuerste Kunstwerk von Helen Chadwick, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
