In November 2020 Christies in London held the auction The Philosophy of Gordon Watson: Collecting Contemporary Art, Silver and Design, which included the work The Fag Show by Sarah Lucas. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 625.00 (€ 697.71), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sarah Lucas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bunny Gets Snookered #8 in May this year with an auction result of USD 736,600.00 (€ 691,383.52).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen

Im November 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Philosophy of Gordon Watson: Collecting Contemporary Art, Silver and Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Fag Show von Sarah Lucas zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 625,00 (€ 697,71) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sarah Lucas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bunny Gets Snookered #8 im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 736.600,00 (€ 691.383,52).
