Description
HELEN MARTEN (B. 1985) Untitled signed, inscribed and dated ‘Marten 11/2013’ (on the reverse) screenprint soy sauce and thread on felt paper 22 3 ⁄ 4 x 17 5 ⁄ 8 in. (57.7 x 44.8cm.) Executed in 2013, this work is number seventy-two from an edition of one hundred and eighty plus twenty artist's proofs
Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Helen Marten achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Paris in July this year. In the First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online auction, the work without title sold for GBP 504.00 (€ 588.02) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Helen Marten achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hostage Circumstance (Unauthorized Twin-Set) in February 2014 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 24,264.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Helen Marten erzielte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies in Paris einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für GBP 504,00 (€ 588,02) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Helen Marten erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hostage Circumstance (Unauthorized Twin-Set) im Februar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 24.264,81).
