Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Louise Bourgeois achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in July 2020. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Hands sold for USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,369.97) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louise Bourgeois achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Spider in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 32,055,000.00 (€ 28,751,457.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louise Bourgeois erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Hands für USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.369,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louise Bourgeois erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Spider im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.055.000,00 (€ 28.751.457,53).
