Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
In May last year Christies in New York held the auction The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs & Melvin Jacobs Online Sale, which included the work Untitled (How to Make a Rainbow) from Prints for Phoenix House by Joseph Cornell. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,032.00 (€ 3,757.34), 34% above the upper estimate. 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 34 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs & Melvin Jacobs Online Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (How to Make a Rainbow) from Prints for Phoenix House von Joseph Cornell zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.032,00 (€ 3.757,34) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
