Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Evening Auction, which included the work Untitled (Red On Red) by Mark Rothko. The price achieved of USD 8,237,000.00 (€ 7,388,106.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 7,000,000.00 – 10,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mark Rothko achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work No. 10 in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 81,925,000.00 (€ 74,517,918.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Red On Red) von Mark Rothko zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 8.237.000,00 (€ 7.388.106,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 7.000.000,00 – 10.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mark Rothko erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit No. 10 im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 81.925.000,00 (€ 74.517.918,86).
