Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work Young Man, Chemistry, Summer by Wolfgang Tillmans for GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,858.07). This price was achieved in the auction Under the Influence at Phillips in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wolfgang Tillmans achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Freischwimmer #84 in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 605,000.00 (€ 688,982.12).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Young Man, Chemistry, Summer von Wolfgang Tillmans für GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.858,07) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Under the Influence bei Phillips in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wolfgang Tillmans erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Freischwimmer #84 im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 605.000,00 (€ 688.982,12).
