Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Totem (Wood) by Keith Haring was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in London in January 2024. It achieved a price of GBP 241,300.00 (€ 403,853.78), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 21%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Totem (Wood) von Keith Haring wurde im Januar 2024 in der Auktion Evening & Day Editions bei Phillips in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 241.300,00 (€ 403.853,78) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 21%. 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).
