In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Smoke Came Out of Her Ears, Fuses Fizzled and Popped by Ed Ruscha. The »bidding war« ended at USD 756,000.00 (€ 704,500.98), 51% above the upper estimate. 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 51 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Smoke Came Out of Her Ears, Fuses Fizzled and Popped von Ed Ruscha zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 756.000,00 (€ 704.500,98) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
