Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Dollar Sign by Andy Warhol was sold in the Asia+ / First Open auction at Christies in Hong Kong in March 2015. The price achieved of HKD 2,320,000.00 (€ 278,633.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 2,000,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andy Warhol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shot Sage Blue Marilyn in May last year with an auction result of USD 195,040,000.00 (€ 181,753,797.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Dollar Sign von Andy Warhol wurde im März 2015 in der Auktion Asia+ / First Open bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 2.320.000,00 (€ 278.633,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 2.000.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andy Warhol erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shot Sage Blue Marilyn im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 195.040.000,00 (€ 181.753.797,41).
