Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Wishing Cup, 1991 by Kenneth Price was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made In California auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in September last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,649.19), 19% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kenneth Price achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work M. Green in May this year with an auction result of USD 554,400.00 (€ 520,367.94).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Wishing Cup, 1991 von Kenneth Price wurde im September letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art X Made In California bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.570,00 (€ 3.649,19) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kenneth Price erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit M. Green im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 554.400,00 (€ 520.367,94).
