Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Avocado by Ellsworth Kelly was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in New York in November last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 151,575.00 (€ 146,832.32). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ellsworth Kelly achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Curve VII in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 9,809,000.00 (€ 8,901,896.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Avocado von Ellsworth Kelly wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 151.575,00 (€ 146.832,32) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ellsworth Kelly erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red Curve VII im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 9.809.000,00 (€ 8.901.896,72).
