Auction result well in line with expectations
The work South African 'Cell 33, E2 Section, Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison', Die Vier Hoeke Series, 2004 by Mikhael Subotzky was sold in the Modern & Contemporary African Art auction at Sothebys in London in October 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,665.00) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Mikhael Subotzky have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Self-portrait (with the help of optometrist) R and L from Retinal Shift in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,019.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit South African 'Cell 33, E2 Section, Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison', Die Vier Hoeke Series, 2004 von Mikhael Subotzky wurde im Oktober 2018 in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary African Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.250,00 (€ 3.665,00) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mikhael Subotzky auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Self-portrait (with the help of optometrist) R and L from Retinal Shift im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 31.019,16).
