Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Ginny Williams Collection: Part II, which included the work Les Tombes (Father/Mother) by Sophie Calle. The price achieved of USD 6,000.00 (€ 5,095.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sophie Calle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sleepers (Les dormeurs) in November 2011 with an auction result of USD 218,500.00 (€ 162,417.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Ginny Williams Collection: Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Les Tombes (Father/Mother) von Sophie Calle zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.000,00 (€ 5.095,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sophie Calle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sleepers (Les dormeurs) im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 218.500,00 (€ 162.417,30).
