Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alex Katz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April last year. In the Contemporary Curated auction, the work Kendra (Kenitta) with Clothes sold for GBP 60,480.00 (€ 72,120.26) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alex Katz erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Curated wurde die Arbeit Kendra (Kenitta) with Clothes für GBP 60.480,00 (€ 72.120,26) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 30.000,00. 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).
