A top price for Hollis Sigler
When the work He Passed To Her His Poisoned Heart by Hollis Sigler was auctioned at Christies in Paris in July this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 7,560.00 (€ 8,820.23). This high result makes He Passed To Her His Poisoned Heart the most expensive artwork by Hollis Sigler that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Hollis Sigler
Als die Arbeit He Passed To Her His Poisoned Heart von Hollis Sigler im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies in Paris versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.560,00 (€ 8.820,23) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht He Passed To Her His Poisoned Heart zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Hollis Sigler, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
