Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.
This artwork by Ed Ruscha achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work Double Standard sold for USD 535,500.00 (€ 499,021.53) - well above the upper estimate of USD 300,000.00. 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 um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ed Ruscha erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Double Standard für USD 535.500,00 (€ 499.021,53) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 300.000,00. 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).
