A top price for Stephen Sprouse
When the work Crucifixion by Stephen Sprouse was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at USD 21,420.00 (€ 18,391.00). This high result makes Crucifixion the most expensive artwork by Stephen Sprouse that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Stephen Sprouse
Als die Arbeit Crucifixion von Stephen Sprouse im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.420,00 (€ 18.391,00) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Crucifixion zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Stephen Sprouse, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
