Upper estimate price exceeded by 91 %.
This artwork by Josef Albers achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in April this year. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Hommage to the Square: Ten Works by Josef Albers (D. 156) sold for USD 95,250.00 (€ 86,277.17) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Josef Albers erzielte im April diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Hommage to the Square: Ten Works by Josef Albers (D. 156) für USD 95.250,00 (€ 86.277,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 50.000,00. 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).
