Upper estimate price exceeded by 91 %.
This artwork by James Rosenquist achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in October this year. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Welcome to the Water Planet (G. 211) sold for USD 5,715.00 (€ 5,407.83) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. 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 91 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von James Rosenquist erzielte im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Welcome to the Water Planet (G. 211) für USD 5.715,00 (€ 5.407,83) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. 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).
