Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Christo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March last year. In the Post-War to Present auction, the work The Gates (Project for Central Park, N.Y.C.) sold for USD 100,800.00 (€ 90,868.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Christo erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War to Present wurde die Arbeit The Gates (Project for Central Park, N.Y.C.) für USD 100.800,00 (€ 90.868,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 40.000,00. 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.
