Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Pattern of Lust by Ed Ruscha was auctioned at Christies in New York in May this year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 1,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 1,562,500.00 (€ 1,466,585.32). 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 Pattern of Lust von Ed Ruscha kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 1.500.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 1.562.500,00 (€ 1.466.585,32) 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).
