Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Yellow by Michel Majerus was worth GBP 35,280.00 (€ 41,101.20) to a buyer in August 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art | London at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 many times over. 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).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Yellow von Michel Majerus war einem Käufer im August 2021 GBP 35.280,00 (€ 41.101,20) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Art | London bei Sothebys in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
