Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
The work Wrapped Reichstag (Project for Berlin) by Christo was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Auction auction at Sothebys in Cologne in April last year. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 40,320.00 34% above the upper estimate. 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 34 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Wrapped Reichstag (Project for Berlin) von Christo wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Auction bei Sothebys in Köln versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 40.320,00 und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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.
