Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Baldessari achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March this year. In the Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD auction, the work To Insert: Person and Ladder (Red) / Hose / Smoke; Flowers and Plates (Blue Hope) sold for USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,635.76) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Baldessari achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Commissioned Painting: A Painting By Edgar Transue in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 2,517,000.00 (€ 1,845,307.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Baldessari erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD wurde die Arbeit To Insert: Person and Ladder (Red) / Hose / Smoke; Flowers and Plates (Blue Hope) für USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.635,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Baldessari erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Commissioned Painting: A Painting By Edgar Transue im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.517.000,00 (€ 1.845.307,92).
