Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Pools #1-#9 (from the Pools Series) by Ed Ruscha was auctioned at Christies in New York in November this year. The price achieved of USD 100,800.00 (€ 92,409.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. 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).
