Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Isle of Children by Joseph Cornell was auctioned at Phillips in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 63,000.00 (€ 58,708.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Cornell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Medici Slot Machine in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 7,781,000.00 (€ 5,704,545.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Isle of Children von Joseph Cornell kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 63.000,00 (€ 58.708,41) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Cornell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Medici Slot Machine im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.781.000,00 (€ 5.704.545,45).
