Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
The work The Lovers (Walking the Wall) by Marina Abramović was sold in the Contemporary Art auction at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,710.00 (€ 9,120.33), 34% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marina Abramović achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Life in October 2020 with an auction result of GBP 287,500.00 (€ 319,244.23).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.710,00 (€ 9.120,33) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marina Abramović erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Life im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 287.500,00 (€ 319.244,23).
