Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Félix González-Torres achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in an online auction in June 2020. In the Editions Contemporary: Online Auction auction, the work "Untitled" sold for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,790.94) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Félix González-Torres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work "Untitled" (L.A.) in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 7,669,000.00 (€ 7,260,935.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Félix González-Torres erzielte im Juni 2020 bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions Contemporary: Online Auction wurde die Arbeit "Untitled" für USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.790,94) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Félix González-Torres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit "Untitled" (L.A.) im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.669.000,00 (€ 7.260.935,43).
