This artwork by John Currin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in September last year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Rachel as the Hag sold for GBP 1,071.00 (€ 1,218.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Currin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nice 'n Easy in November 2016 with an auction result of USD 12,007,500.00 (€ 11,351,389.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Currin erzielte im September letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit Rachel as the Hag für GBP 1.071,00 (€ 1.218,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Currin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nice 'n Easy im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.007.500,00 (€ 11.351.389,68).
