Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Pietà by Sam Taylor-Johnson was auctioned at Phillips in London in February 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,077.55) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sam Taylor-Johnson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work After Van Halen, which sold at auction in February 2008 for USD 88,000.00 (€ 57,944.29).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Pietà von Sam Taylor-Johnson kam im Februar 2020 bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.077,55) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Sam Taylor-Johnson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit After Van Halen beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für USD 88.000,00 (€ 57.944,29) versteigert wurde.
