JAMES ROSENQUIST (1933-2017)
First [When was the first time you had your eyes examined]
lithograph with hand-coloring in acrylic spray, on J.B. Green handmade paper, 1973, signed, titled and dated in pencil, numbered 'AP 18/32' (an artist's proof, the edition was 32), published by Brooke Alexander Editions, New York, the full sheet, in good condition
Sheet: 23 1/4 x 31 3/8 in. (584 x 797 mm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by James Rosenquist achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March this year. In the Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD auction, the work First When was the first time you had your eyes examined sold for USD 2,520.00 (€ 2,317.88) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Rosenquist achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Director in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 3,135,000.00 (€ 2,811,911.38).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von James Rosenquist erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD wurde die Arbeit First When was the first time you had your eyes examined für USD 2.520,00 (€ 2.317,88) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Rosenquist erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Director im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.135.000,00 (€ 2.811.911,38).
