Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Claes Oldenburg achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March last year. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Miniature Soft Drum Set sold for USD 11,970.00 (€ 10,790.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. 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 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Claes Oldenburg erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wurde die Arbeit Miniature Soft Drum Set für USD 11.970,00 (€ 10.790,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. 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).
