Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Evening Auction, which included the work Cold Beer Beautiful Girls by Ed Ruscha. It changed hands for a price of USD 18,823,400.00 (€ 17,541,142.48) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 15,000,000.00 – 20,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ed Ruscha - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hurting the Word Radio #2, which sold at auction in November 2019 for USD 52,485,000.00 (€ 47,631,364.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cold Beer Beautiful Girls von Ed Ruscha zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 18.823.400,00 (€ 17.541.142,48) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000.000,00 – 20.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ed Ruscha mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Hurting the Word Radio #2 beobachtet, die im November 2019 für USD 52.485.000,00 (€ 47.631.364,01) versteigert wurde.
