Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Janine Antoni achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2012. In the First Open Post-War Contemporary Art auction, the work Umbilical sold for USD 17,500.00 (€ 13,124.34) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Janine Antoni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gnaw in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 204,000.00 (€ 218,696.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Janine Antoni erzielte im März 2012 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open Post-War Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Umbilical für USD 17.500,00 (€ 13.124,34) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Janine Antoni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gnaw im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 204.000,00 (€ 218.696,40).
