This artwork by Gerhard Richter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May this year. In the A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II auction, the work Pyramide sold for USD 352,800.00 (€ 331,143.23) - well above the upper estimate of USD 200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerhard Richter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abstraktes Bild in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 30,389,000.00 (€ 41,901,917.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gerhard Richter erzielte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II wurde die Arbeit Pyramide für USD 352.800,00 (€ 331.143,23) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 200.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerhard Richter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abstraktes Bild im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.389.000,00 (€ 41.901.917,57).
