Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Motor City Series 6 by Ed Ruscha was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in October this year. It changed hands for a price of USD 17,920.00 (€ 16,956.85) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. 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
Die Arbeit Motor City Series 6 von Ed Ruscha wurde im Oktober diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 17.920,00 (€ 16.956,85) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. 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).
