Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by Christo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March last year. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Whitney Museum of American Art, Packed, Project for New York, from (Some) Not Realized Projects sold for USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,950.96) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. 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 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Christo erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wurde die Arbeit Whitney Museum of American Art, Packed, Project for New York, from (Some) Not Realized Projects für USD 8.820,00 (€ 7.950,96) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. 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.
