Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.
In March 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master, Modern & Contemporary Prints, which included the work Myths: Superman (Feldman & Schellmann Ii.260) by Andy Warhol. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 109,250.00 (€ 130,970.55), 37% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 37 % übertroffen
Im März 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master, Modern & Contemporary Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Myths: Superman (Feldman & Schellmann Ii.260) von Andy Warhol zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 109.250,00 (€ 130.970,55) und damit 37% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
