Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Cratère by Christo was worth GBP 65,820.00 (€ 74,882.96) to a buyer in March this year. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art at Bonhams and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 1,706,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Cratère von Christo war einem Käufer im März diesen Jahres GBP 65.820,00 (€ 74.882,96) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 10.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.706.500,00.
