Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work 'Black Rose', 1993 by Nick Knight was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 6,930.00 (€ 8,136.47). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nick Knight achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tatjana Patitz for Jil Sander, 1992 in November 2016 with an auction result of HKD 2,360,000.00 (€ 287,581.77).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit 'Black Rose', 1993 von Nick Knight im November 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.930,00 (€ 8.136,47) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nick Knight erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tatjana Patitz for Jil Sander, 1992 im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 2.360.000,00 (€ 287.581,77).
