Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Online, which included the work The Snail by Yto Barrada. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,606.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Yto Barrada have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work French play (Lyautey Unit Blocks) in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 43,750.00 (€ 36,770.89).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Snail von Yto Barrada zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.606,10) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Yto Barrada auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit French play (Lyautey Unit Blocks) im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 36.770,89).
