Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Jac Leirner achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in September 2018. In the Contemporary Curated auction, the work Pulmão sold for USD 52,500.00 (€ 45,172.95) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jac Leirner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nomes (Names), which sold at auction in November 2014 for USD 221,000.00 (€ 177,681.30).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jac Leirner erzielte im September 2018 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated wurde die Arbeit Pulmão für USD 52.500,00 (€ 45.172,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jac Leirner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nomes (Names) beobachtet, die im November 2014 für USD 221.000,00 (€ 177.681,30) versteigert wurde.
