Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lobster by Jeff Koons was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,500,000.00 – 5,500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,780,000.00 (€ 3,522,504.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jeff Koons achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rabbit in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 91,075,000.00 (€ 81,688,940.71).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Lobster von Jeff Koons kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.500.000,00 – 5.500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.780.000,00 (€ 3.522.504,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jeff Koons erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rabbit im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 91.075.000,00 (€ 81.688.940,71).
