Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
The work Untitled V by Andreas Gursky was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2021. It achieved a price of USD 112,500.00 (€ 92,258.49), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andreas Gursky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 99 Cent Ii, Diptych in February 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,700,000.00 (€ 2,520,188.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 61 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Untitled V von Andreas Gursky kam im Mai 2021 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 112.500,00 (€ 92.258,49) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 61%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andreas Gursky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 99 Cent Ii, Diptych im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.700.000,00 (€ 2.520.188,96).
