Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
In January last year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Project for the École Militaire, Paris by Christo. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,364.61), 28% above the upper estimate. 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.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Im Januar letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Project for the École Militaire, Paris von Christo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.364,61) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
