Upper estimate price exceeded by 66 %.
In May last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples, which included the work Leo, from the Leo Castelli 90th Birthday Portfolio by Jasper Johns. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,287.50 (€ 7,722.95), 66% above the upper estimate. 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 um 66 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Leo, from the Leo Castelli 90th Birthday Portfolio von Jasper Johns zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.287,50 (€ 7.722,95) und damit 66% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
