In November this year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Typewriter Eraser by Claes Oldenburg. The »bidding war« ended at USD 655,200.00 (€ 600,660.07), 31% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Claes Oldenburg have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Clothespin Ten Foot in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 3,637,000.00 (€ 3,443,476.61).

Im November diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Typewriter Eraser von Claes Oldenburg zur Versteigerung kam.

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Claes Oldenburg auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Clothespin Ten Foot im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.637.000,00 (€ 3.443.476,61).
