Upper estimate price exceeded by 52 %.
The work Fagus Silvatica, from Natural History Part II: Some Trees of Italy by Cy Twombly was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2020. It achieved a price of USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,024.12), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 52%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cy Twombly achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (New York City) in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 70,530,000.00 (€ 66,777,125.54).

Die Arbeit Fagus Silvatica, from Natural History Part II: Some Trees of Italy von Cy Twombly kam im Juli 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 9.024,12) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 52%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cy Twombly erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (New York City) im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.530.000,00 (€ 66.777.125,54).
