Sold at the upper estimate price
In April 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Red Lenin (F. & S. Ii.403) by Andy Warhol. The auction ended at the price of USD 70,000.00 (€ 57,975.82), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im April 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Red Lenin (F. & S. Ii.403) von Andy Warhol zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 70.000,00 (€ 57.975,82) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. 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).
