Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Wall by Ellsworth Kelly was auctioned at Bonhams in March this year. The price achieved of USD 4,845.00 (€ 4,456.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Wall von Ellsworth Kelly kam im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.845,00 (€ 4.456,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
