Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Ellsworth Kelly could be acquired at Christies in July this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Red Blue, from X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters) changed hands for USD 1,764.00 (€ 1,600.73) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ellsworth Kelly konnte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wechselte die Arbeit Red Blue, from X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters) für USD 1.764,00 (€ 1.600,73) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. 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).
