Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In October this year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Peek-a-Boo Marilyn #1; Martini Miss #2; Lola Cola #4; Candy II - Snickers; Tobacco Rhoda; and Lola Cola #1 by Mel Ramos. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,255.00 (€ 7,811.32), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mel Ramos achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A.C. Annie in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 1,071,650.00 (€ 1,335,228.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Peek-a-Boo Marilyn #1; Martini Miss #2; Lola Cola #4; Candy II - Snickers; Tobacco Rhoda; and Lola Cola #1 von Mel Ramos zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.255,00 (€ 7.811,32) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mel Ramos erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A.C. Annie im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.071.650,00 (€ 1.335.228,75).
