Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Dark, Banded, Asymmetric, Curved Polished Rim by Jennifer Lee was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,799.06). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jennifer Lee - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pale, Two Speckled Shadow Rings, which sold at auction in October last year for GBP 63,000.00 (€ 73,394.30).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Dark, Banded, Asymmetric, Curved Polished Rim von Jennifer Lee im September 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 23.750,00 (€ 26.799,06) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jennifer Lee mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pale, Two Speckled Shadow Rings beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für GBP 63.000,00 (€ 73.394,30) versteigert wurde.
