A top price for Michel Majerus
When the work nothing is permanent by Michel Majerus was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 600,800.00 (€ 518,960.01). This high result makes nothing is permanent the most expensive artwork by Michel Majerus that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Michel Majerus
Als die Arbeit nothing is permanent von Michel Majerus im September 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 600.800,00 (€ 518.960,01) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht nothing is permanent zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Michel Majerus, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
