Artwork auctioned at 33 times the upper estimate price
When the work Kate Moss, Shalom Harlow, and Naomi Campbell in bed, 1996 by Karl Lagerfeld was auctioned at Christies in New York in February this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 900.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 33 times as high at USD 30,240.00 (€ 28,522.92). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Karl Lagerfeld; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sans titre sold at auction in December 2021 with the realized price of EUR 52,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum 33-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Kate Moss, Shalom Harlow, and Naomi Campbell in bed, 1996 von Karl Lagerfeld im Februar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 900,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 30.240,00 (€ 28.522,92) mehr als 33-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Karl Lagerfeld; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Sans titre im Dezember 2021 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 52.500,00.
