Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Isamu Noguchi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2019. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction, the work Floor Frame sold for USD 399,000.00 (€ 362,101.82) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Isamu Noguchi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Garden Elements in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 4,727,500.00 (€ 4,207,458.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Isamu Noguchi erzielte im November 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session wurde die Arbeit Floor Frame für USD 399.000,00 (€ 362.101,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Isamu Noguchi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Garden Elements im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.727.500,00 (€ 4.207.458,17).
