Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
In October 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction, which included the work Vesuvius by Andy Warhol. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 555,000.00 (€ 643,760.20), 59% 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 59 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Vesuvius von Andy Warhol zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 555.000,00 (€ 643.760,20) und damit 59% 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).
