Auction result well in line with expectations
In November last year Christies in New York held the auction A Graphic Century including French Impressions: Prints from Ambroise Vollard and Henri M. Petiet, which included the work Ada Four Times by Alex Katz. It changed hands for a price of USD 6,930.00 (€ 6,713.16) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alex Katz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Blue Umbrella I in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 3,375,000.00 (€ 3,914,757.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion A Graphic Century including French Impressions: Prints from Ambroise Vollard and Henri M. Petiet durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ada Four Times von Alex Katz zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 6.930,00 (€ 6.713,16) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alex Katz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Blue Umbrella I im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.375.000,00 (€ 3.914.757,96).
