Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Michel Majerus achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in August 2021. In the Contemporary Art | London auction, the work Orange sold for GBP 16,380.00 (€ 19,082.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michel Majerus achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work nothing is permanent in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 600,800.00 (€ 518,960.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Michel Majerus erzielte im August 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art | London wurde die Arbeit Orange für GBP 16.380,00 (€ 19.082,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michel Majerus erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit nothing is permanent im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 600.800,00 (€ 518.960,01).
