Auction result well in line with expectations
The work First When was the first time you had your eyes examined? by James Rosenquist was auctioned at Christies in New York in July last year. It changed hands for a price of USD 1,134.00 (€ 1,111.55) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 800.00 – 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit First When was the first time you had your eyes examined? von James Rosenquist kam im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 1.134,00 (€ 1.111,55) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 800,00 – 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).
