Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2024 Phillips in London held the auction Evening & Day Editions, which included the work No. I, from Natural History Part I Mushrooms (B. 42) by Cy Twombly. It changed hands for a price of GBP 8,890.00 (€ 14,878.82) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2024 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening & Day Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit No. I, from Natural History Part I Mushrooms (B. 42) von Cy Twombly zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 8.890,00 (€ 14.878,82) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00. 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).
