Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work COMPLETE COLOUR CHECK FOR THE YEAR MCMLXXI ARRANGED IN ORDER OF CHANGE (ABOVE) AND CHOICE (BELOW) by Tom Phillips was auctioned at Phillips in London in April 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,812.76). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Tom Phillips; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Berlin Wall with German Grass and Skies II sold at auction in December 2018 with the realized price of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 27,852.22).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit COMPLETE COLOUR CHECK FOR THE YEAR MCMLXXI ARRANGED IN ORDER OF CHANGE (ABOVE) AND CHOICE (BELOW) von Tom Phillips im April 2017 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.812,76) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Tom Phillips; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Berlin Wall with German Grass and Skies II im Dezember 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 27.852,22).
