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 Day Lily I by Alex Katz. The »bidding war« ended at USD 11,970.00 (€ 11,595.47), 71% 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 um 71 % übertroffen
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 Day Lily I von Alex Katz zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 11.970,00 (€ 11.595,47) und damit 71% 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).
