Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Rebecca Horn achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2021. In the The Curator’s Eye: The Collection of Professor Dr Karin von Maur auction, the work Swan Ladder sold for EUR 4,375.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rebecca Horn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ohne Titel in December 2017 with an auction result of EUR 124,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Rebecca Horn erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Curator’s Eye: The Collection of Professor Dr Karin von Maur wurde die Arbeit Swan Ladder für EUR 4.375,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rebecca Horn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ohne Titel im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 124.000,00.
