Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
In May 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Formulation: Articulation (Danilowitz Appendix C) by Josef Albers. The »bidding war« ended at USD 16,250.00 (€ 14,780.79), 63% 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).

Im Mai 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Formulation: Articulation (Danilowitz Appendix C) von Josef Albers zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 14.780,79) und damit 63% 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).
