Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Unique ceiling light by Ingo Maurer was sold in the Hard-Edged: Online Auction auction at Phillips in an online auction in April 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,222.39) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ingo Maurer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Porca Miseria! [What a Disaster!, A Ceiling Light|AID40972] in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 118,750.00 (€ 135,398.24).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Unique ceiling light von Ingo Maurer wurde im April 2020 in der Auktion Hard-Edged: Online Auction bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.222,39) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ingo Maurer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Porca Miseria! [What a Disaster!, A Ceiling Light|AID40972] im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 118.750,00 (€ 135.398,24).
