Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Umbrellas (Project for Japan and Western USA) by Christo was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2021. It achieved a price of USD 119,700.00 (€ 103,394.66), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Umbrellas (Project for Japan and Western USA) von Christo kam im September 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 119.700,00 (€ 103.394,66) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. 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.
