Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Colorfast? #5 by Ed Ruscha was sold in the Contemporary Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 201,600.00 (€ 187,866.93). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ed Ruscha achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hurting the Word Radio #2 in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 52,485,000.00 (€ 47,631,364.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Colorfast? #5 von Ed Ruscha wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 201.600,00 (€ 187.866,93) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ed Ruscha erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hurting the Word Radio #2 im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 52.485.000,00 (€ 47.631.364,01).
