Upper estimate price exceeded by 44 %.
In August this year Bonhams in New York held the auction Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash, which included the work Alphabet in the Form of a Good Humor Bar by Claes Oldenburg. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,152.00 (€ 1,062.83), 44% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claes Oldenburg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Clothespin Ten Foot in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 3,637,000.00 (€ 3,443,476.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 44 % übertroffen
Im August diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash durch, in der auch die Arbeit Alphabet in the Form of a Good Humor Bar von Claes Oldenburg zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.152,00 (€ 1.062,83) und damit 44% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Claes Oldenburg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Clothespin Ten Foot im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.637.000,00 (€ 3.443.476,61).
