Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
The work Chanel Guillotine by Tom Sachs was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 121,250.00 (€ 142,822.36), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 73%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Tom Sachs; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Tiffany Value Meal sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of USD 302,400.00 (€ 281,800.39).
