Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Song (M. 126, S. 127) by Alex Katz was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in London in January this year. It achieved a price of GBP 6,930.00 (€ 7,865.66), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Song (M. 126, S. 127) von Alex Katz wurde im Januar diesen Jahres in der Auktion Evening & Day Editions bei Phillips in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 6.930,00 (€ 7.865,66) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 16%. 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).
