A top price for Jonathan Meese

In October 2007 Christies in London held the auction Post War and Contemporary ArtEvening Sale, which included the work Agamemnon's Hähnchenbesteck by Jonathan Meese. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 132,500.00 (€ 190,278.72). With this result, Agamemnon's Hähnchenbesteck is even the most expensive work of art by Jonathan Meese that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Jonathan Meese

Im Oktober 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post War and Contemporary ArtEvening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Agamemnon's Hähnchenbesteck von Jonathan Meese zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 120.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 132.500,00 (€ 190.278,72) einen neuen Besitzer. Mit diesem Ergebnis ist Agamemnon's Hähnchenbesteck sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jonathan Meese, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
