Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
The work Doorknob by Rachel Whiteread was sold in the Editions & Works on Paper auction at Phillips in New York in April this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 953.00 (€ 863.22), 59% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rachel Whiteread achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Colours) in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 445,250.00 (€ 565,695.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Doorknob von Rachel Whiteread wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 953,00 (€ 863,22) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rachel Whiteread erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Colours) im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 445.250,00 (€ 565.695,14).
