Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Blue Hat (S. 382) by Alex Katz was sold in the Editions & Works on Paper auction at Phillips in New York in April this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 40,640.00 (€ 36,811.59), 16% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Blue Hat (S. 382) von Alex Katz wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 40.640,00 (€ 36.811,59) und damit 16% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
