The work Black Pearl by Nick Knight was auctioned at Phillips in London in May 2016. It achieved a price of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 122,333.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nick Knight - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tatjana Patitz for Jil Sander, 1992, which sold at auction in November 2016 for HKD 2,360,000.00 (€ 287,581.77).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Black Pearl von Nick Knight kam im Mai 2016 bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 93.750,00 (€ 122.333,86) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 56%. Für andere Arbeiten von Nick Knight mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tatjana Patitz for Jil Sander, 1992 beobachtet, die im November 2016 für HKD 2.360.000,00 (€ 287.581,77) versteigert wurde.
