Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.

The work Spastic Plant by Eddie Martinez was sold in the Post War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 112,500.00 (€ 131,929.58), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 41%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eddie Martinez achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work High Flying Bird in November 2019 with an auction result of HKD 15,725,000.00 (€ 1,823,808.88).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Spastic Plant von Eddie Martinez wurde im Juli 2021 in der Auktion Post War and Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 131.929,58) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 41%.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit High Flying Bird im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 15.725.000,00 (€ 1.823.808,88).
