Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Mickalene Thomas achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in October last year. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction, the work As If You Read My Mind sold for GBP 504,000.00 (€ 587,154.42) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mickalene Thomas - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit, which sold at auction in May 2021 for USD 1,830,000.00 (€ 1,500,738.07).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mickalene Thomas erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit As If You Read My Mind für GBP 504.000,00 (€ 587.154,42) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 250.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mickalene Thomas mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Racquel Reclining Wearing Purple Jumpsuit beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für USD 1.830.000,00 (€ 1.500.738,07) versteigert wurde.
