Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Barrage by Steve McQueen was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 12,064.95). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Steve McQueen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work More, which sold at auction in May 2021 for GBP 22,680.00 (€ 26,388.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Barrage von Steve McQueen im Februar 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 12.064,95) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Steve McQueen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit More beobachtet, die im Mai 2021 für GBP 22.680,00 (€ 26.388,70) versteigert wurde.
