Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by David Hockney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2019. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Study of Water in a Pool sold for GBP 275,000.00 (€ 309,140.78) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Hockney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nichols Canyon in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 41,067,500.00 (€ 33,579,313.16).

Dieses Kunstwerk von David Hockney erzielte im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Study of Water in a Pool für GBP 275.000,00 (€ 309.140,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 120.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Hockney erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nichols Canyon im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 41.067.500,00 (€ 33.579.313,16).
