Upper estimate price exceeded by 55 %.
The work Astatic (D. 116) by Josef Albers was sold in the Editions & Works on Paper auction at Phillips in New York in April this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 13,970.00 (€ 12,653.99), 55% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Albers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Homage to the Square in May this year with an auction result of USD 2,954,000.00 (€ 2,772,667.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 55 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Astatic (D. 116) von Josef Albers wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 13.970,00 (€ 12.653,99) und damit 55% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Albers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Homage to the Square im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.954.000,00 (€ 2.772.667,54).
