Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Andy Warhol could be acquired at Phillips in Hong Kong in May this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Disruptors: Evening Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, Design and Watches auction, the work Figures on a Busy Street changed hands for HKD 444,500.00 (€ 53,278.25) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 450,000.00 – 650,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Andy Warhol konnte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Phillips in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Disruptors: Evening Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, Design and Watches wechselte die Arbeit Figures on a Busy Street für HKD 444.500,00 (€ 53.278,25) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 450.000,00 – 650.000,00. 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).
