Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
The work Red Cap by Alex Katz was auctioned at Christies in New York in March this year. It achieved a price of USD 27,720.00 (€ 25,496.69), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 54%. 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 54 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Red Cap von Alex Katz kam im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 27.720,00 (€ 25.496,69) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 54%. 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).
