Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Composition with Flower by George Condo was sold in the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Christies in New York in December last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 151,200.00 (€ 141,334.83), 51% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Condo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nude and Forms in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 6,162,500.00 (€ 5,280,634.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Composition with Flower von George Condo wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 151.200,00 (€ 141.334,83) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Condo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nude and Forms im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.162.500,00 (€ 5.280.634,10).
