Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Just an Average Guy (S. 1979.46, E. 104) by Ed Ruscha. It changed hands for a price of USD 8,255.00 (€ 7,811.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Just an Average Guy (S. 1979.46, E. 104) von Ed Ruscha zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 8.255,00 (€ 7.811,32) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 9.000,00. 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).
