Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alex Katz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in April last year. In the Prints & Multiples auction, the work Day Lilies sold for USD 27,720.00 (€ 26,307.30) - well above the upper estimate of USD 10,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Alex Katz erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples wurde die Arbeit Day Lilies für USD 27.720,00 (€ 26.307,30) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 10.000,00. 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).
