Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
In June last year Phillips in London held the auction Evening & Day Editions, which included the work Totem (Concrete) by Keith Haring. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 138,600.00 (€ 161,013.77), 73% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Keith Haring achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 6,537,500.00 (€ 5,818,351.73).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 73 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening & Day Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit Totem (Concrete) von Keith Haring zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 138.600,00 (€ 161.013,77) und damit 73% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Keith Haring erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.537.500,00 (€ 5.818.351,73).
