Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
In March last year Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary Edition, which included the work Flowers I-III, from Bedford Series by Joan Mitchell. The »bidding war« ended at USD 60,480.00 (€ 54,520.87), 73% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joan Mitchell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November this year with an auction result of USD 29,160,000.00 (€ 26,732,673.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 73 % übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Contemporary Edition durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flowers I-III, from Bedford Series von Joan Mitchell zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 60.480,00 (€ 54.520,87) und damit 73% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joan Mitchell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 29.160.000,00 (€ 26.732.673,27).
