Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Nail & Wire: Sex Pistols by Thomas Hirschhorn was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,170.74). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Hirschhorn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abstrait Relief No. 548 (Nietzche) in October 2006 with an auction result of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 125,503.48).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Nail & Wire: Sex Pistols von Thomas Hirschhorn im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.170,74) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Hirschhorn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abstrait Relief No. 548 (Nietzche) im Oktober 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 125.503,48).
