Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.

The work The World Is The Speed Of Fire, Cry Tears But They Still Turn To Silver by Terence Koh was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,820.00 (€ 9,846.10), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Terence Koh achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Man/ Animal) in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 157,000.00 (€ 100,899.74).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The World Is The Speed Of Fire, Cry Tears But They Still Turn To Silver von Terence Koh wurde im November 2020 in der Auktion Contemporary Curated bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.820,00 (€ 9.846,10) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Terence Koh erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Man/ Animal) im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 157.000,00 (€ 100.899,74).
