Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by Julie Mehretu achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October last year. In the Prints and Multiples auction, the work Six Bardos: Transmutation sold for USD 176,400.00 (€ 177,571.98) - well above the upper estimate of USD 100,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Julie Mehretu erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints and Multiples wurde die Arbeit Six Bardos: Transmutation für USD 176.400,00 (€ 177.571,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 100.000,00. 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).
