Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
In October 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Dear Keith: Works from the Personal Collection of Keith Haring, which included the work Martin Luther King, Jr. by Dennis Hopper. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,031.85), 64% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dennis Hopper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Andy Warhol (With Flower), 1963/2006 in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 206,500.00 (€ 158,724.06).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Dear Keith: Works from the Personal Collection of Keith Haring durch, in der auch die Arbeit Martin Luther King, Jr. von Dennis Hopper zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.031,85) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dennis Hopper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Andy Warhol (With Flower), 1963/2006 im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 206.500,00 (€ 158.724,06).
