Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
The work The Umbrellas (Joint Project for Japan and USA) by Christo was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 107,100.00 (€ 125,596.96), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. 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.

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 107.100,00 (€ 125.596,96) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 53%. 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.
