Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Untitled Etching 2 by Barnett Newman was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2020. It achieved a price of USD 125,000.00 (€ 107,323.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barnett Newman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Fire I in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 84,165,000.00 (€ 61,704,545.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Untitled Etching 2 von Barnett Newman kam im Oktober 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 125.000,00 (€ 107.323,77) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barnett Newman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Fire I im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 84.165.000,00 (€ 61.704.545,45).
