Upper estimate price exceeded by 84 %.
This artwork by Andy Warhol achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2012. In the Andy Warhol at Christie's Sold to Benefit the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts auction, the work Skulls sold for USD 110,500.00 (€ 84,934.67) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 84 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Andy Warhol erzielte im November 2012 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Andy Warhol at Christie's Sold to Benefit the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts wurde die Arbeit Skulls für USD 110.500,00 (€ 84.934,67) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. 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).
