gouache on brown paper
12 x 8 ¼ in. (30.5 x 20.8 cm.)
Painted in 1998.

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by John Currin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2021. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Veiled Figure sold for USD 122,500.00 (€ 108,531.94) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Currin erzielte im November 2021 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Veiled Figure für USD 122.500,00 (€ 108.531,94) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. 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).
