Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Girl in Window, Los Angeles, 1999 by Wim Wenders was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,363.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wim Wenders achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lake Galilee before Sunrise in November 2011 with an auction result of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 60,296.09).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Girl in Window, Los Angeles, 1999 von Wim Wenders im Juli 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.363,66) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wim Wenders erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lake Galilee before Sunrise im November 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 51.650,00 (€ 60.296,09).
