Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Synopsis of a Battle by Cy Twombly was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The price achieved of USD 15,261,500.00 (€ 14,221,880.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000,000.00 – 18,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Cy Twombly have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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
Die Arbeit Synopsis of a Battle von Cy Twombly kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 15.261.500,00 (€ 14.221.880,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000.000,00 – 18.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Cy Twombly auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Untitled (New York City) im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.530.000,00 (€ 66.777.125,54).
