Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Wrapped Reichstag (Project for Berlin) by Christo was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in New York in September 2021. It achieved a price of USD 63,000.00 (€ 54,418.24), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. 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 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Wrapped Reichstag (Project for Berlin) von Christo wurde im September 2021 in der Auktion Contemporary Curated bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 54.418,24) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. 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.
