Artwork auctioned at 15 times the upper estimate price

When the work Three photographs of Paloma Picasso, Anna Wintour, André Leon Talley, and Fran Lebowitz, 1992 by Karl Lagerfeld was auctioned at Christies in New York in February this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 15 times as high at USD 7,560.00 (€ 7,130.73). Admittedly, works by Karl Lagerfeld have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sans titre in December 2021 with an auction result of EUR 52,500.00.

Kunstwerk zum 15-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Three photographs of Paloma Picasso, Anna Wintour, André Leon Talley, and Fran Lebowitz, 1992 von Karl Lagerfeld im Februar diesen Jahres 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 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.560,00 (€ 7.130,73) mehr als 15-mal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Karl Lagerfeld auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sans titre im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 52.500,00.
