This artwork by Byam Shaw achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2007. In the British Art on Paper auction, the work When Love Came Into The House of The Respectable Citizen sold for GBP 15,600.00 (€ 23,149.62) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Byam Shaw achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Queen of Hearts in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 790,500.00 (€ 883,058.95).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Byam Shaw erzielte im Juni 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British Art on Paper wurde die Arbeit When Love Came Into The House of The Respectable Citizen für GBP 15.600,00 (€ 23.149,62) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Byam Shaw erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Queen of Hearts im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 790.500,00 (€ 883.058,95).
