Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2017 Phillips in London held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Stairway to Heaven I by Liza Lou. The price achieved of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 64,058.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Admittedly, works by Liza Lou have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Vessel in October 2010 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 333,509.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2017 führte Phillips in London die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Stairway to Heaven I von Liza Lou zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 56.250,00 (€ 64.058,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Liza Lou auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Vessel im Oktober 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 289.250,00 (€ 333.509,79).
