Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
The work The End by Ed Ruscha was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2024. It achieved a price of GBP 127,000.00 (€ 212,554.62), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 59%. 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 59 % übertroffen
