Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2016 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work Smooth Egg with Bow (Magenta/Violet) by Jeff Koons. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 7,000,000.00 – 10,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 7,445,000.00 (€ 6,686,124.83) 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
Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Smooth Egg with Bow (Magenta/Violet) von Jeff Koons zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 7.000.000,00 – 10.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 7.445.000,00 (€ 6.686.124,83) 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).
