Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Day Auction, which included this untitled work by Helen Frankenthaler. The »bidding war« ended at USD 52,920.00 (€ 49,315.07), 51% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Helen Frankenthaler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Royal Fireworks in June 2020 with an auction result of USD 7,895,300.00 (€ 7,029,917.19).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Day Auction durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Helen Frankenthaler zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 52.920,00 (€ 49.315,07) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Helen Frankenthaler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Royal Fireworks im Juni 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.895.300,00 (€ 7.029.917,19).
