Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In October this year Bonhams in London held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work West Wind by Helen Frankenthaler. The »bidding war« ended at USD 12,800.00 (€ 12,112.04), 60% 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 60 % übertroffen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit West Wind von Helen Frankenthaler zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 12.800,00 (€ 12.112,04) und damit 60% 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).
