Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work Disco Bomb by Martin Kippenberger was sold in the New Now auction at Phillips in New York in September this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 40,640.00 (€ 38,397.58), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martin Kippenberger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 16,405,000.00 (€ 14,921,775.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Disco Bomb von Martin Kippenberger wurde im September diesen Jahres in der Auktion New Now bei Phillips in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 40.640,00 (€ 38.397,58) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martin Kippenberger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.405.000,00 (€ 14.921.775,51).
