Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Martha Rosler achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2011. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Body Beautiful, Or Beauty Knows No Pain (Hot Meat) sold for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 8,988.80) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martha Rosler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bringing The War Home: House Beautiful in May 2006 with an auction result of USD 156,000.00 (€ 121,561.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Martha Rosler erzielte im Juni 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Body Beautiful, Or Beauty Knows No Pain (Hot Meat) für GBP 8.125,00 (€ 8.988,80) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martha Rosler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bringing The War Home: House Beautiful im Mai 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 156.000,00 (€ 121.561,60).
