Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
The work Sapphic Strophe 2, from Poetry of Sappho by Julie Mehretu was auctioned at Phillips in an online auction in October 2020. It achieved a price of USD 5,625.00 (€ 4,829.57), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 41%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Julie Mehretu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Ground (Deep Light) in April 2019 with an auction result of HKD 44,209,000.00 (€ 5,032,271.67).

Die Arbeit Sapphic Strophe 2, from Poetry of Sappho von Julie Mehretu kam im Oktober 2020 bei Phillips in einer Online-Auktion zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 5.625,00 (€ 4.829,57) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 41%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Julie Mehretu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Ground (Deep Light) im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 44.209.000,00 (€ 5.032.271,67).
