Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In March last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Discoveries, which included the work While the Earth Revolves at Night by James Rosenquist. The »bidding war« ended at USD 44,100.00 (€ 39,754.80), 47% above the upper estimate. 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 47 % übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Discoveries durch, in der auch die Arbeit While the Earth Revolves at Night von James Rosenquist zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 39.754,80) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
