Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Hot Stuff by Seen was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 3,570.00 (€ 4,136.81). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Seen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Superman Who, 2009 in February 2012 with an auction result of EUR 95,957.00.
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Hot Stuff von Seen im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.570,00 (€ 4.136,81) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Seen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Superman Who, 2009 im Februar 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 95.957,00.
