The work The Wall (Project for a Wrapped Roman Wall - "Porta Pinciana" delle Mura Aureliane, Via Vittorio Veneto and Villa Borghese) by Christo was auctioned at Christies in June last year. It achieved a price of EUR 81,900.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37 %. 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.

Die Arbeit The Wall (Project for a Wrapped Roman Wall - "Porta Pinciana" delle Mura Aureliane, Via Vittorio Veneto and Villa Borghese) von Christo kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Christies zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von EUR 81.900,00 und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 37 %. 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.
