Description
CLAES OLDENBURG (B. 1929) Baked Potato, from 7 Objects in a Box cast resin multiple painted with acrylic and Shenango china dish, initialed in black ink on the inside of the potato, numbered 37/75 (there were also 26 artist’s proofs lettered A-Y), published by Tanglewood Press, New York Overall: 7 x 10 1 ⁄ 2 x 4 1 ⁄ 2 in. (178 x 267 x 114 mm.)
Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Claes Oldenburg achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in July last year. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Baked Potato, from 7 Objects in a Box sold for USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,880.42) - 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 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Claes Oldenburg erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wurde die Arbeit Baked Potato, from 7 Objects in a Box für USD 10.080,00 (€ 9.880,42) 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 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).
