Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Black Scarf by Alex Katz was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Christies in New York in April this year. It changed hands for a price of USD 11,970.00 (€ 10,842.39) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. 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
Die Arbeit Black Scarf von Alex Katz wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 11.970,00 (€ 10.842,39) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. 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).
