A top price for Julie Roberts
When the work Crime of Passion by Julie Roberts was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 79,000.00 (€ 53,785.40). This high result makes Crime of Passion the most expensive artwork by Julie Roberts that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Crime of Passion von Julie Roberts im November 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 79.000,00 (€ 53.785,40) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Crime of Passion zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Julie Roberts, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
