Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April this year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Foirades/Fizzles (ULAE 173) by Jasper Johns. Here, the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 15,240.00 (€ 13,804.35). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jasper Johns achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Small False Start in November last year with an auction result of USD 55,350,000.00 (€ 53,618,134.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April diesen Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Foirades/Fizzles (ULAE 173) von Jasper Johns zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 15.240,00 (€ 13.804,35) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jasper Johns erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Small False Start im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 55.350.000,00 (€ 53.618.134,26).
