Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alex Katz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in August last year. In the Prints & Multiples Summer Splash auction, the work Pamela (Pamela in Gray) sold for USD 4,080.00 (€ 4,053.65) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. 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 August letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples Summer Splash wurde die Arbeit Pamela (Pamela in Gray) für USD 4.080,00 (€ 4.053,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00. 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).
