Upper estimate price exceeded by 80 %.
This artwork by Milton Greene achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2005. In the THE HOUSE SALE auction, the work Marilyn Monroe holding a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, 1950s sold for USD 900.00 (€ 689.71) - well above the upper estimate of USD 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Milton Greene achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nelly Nyad (1952) in October 2000 with an auction result of USD 15,275.00 (€ 18,000.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Milton Greene erzielte im Januar 2005 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion THE HOUSE SALE wurde die Arbeit Marilyn Monroe holding a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, 1950s für USD 900,00 (€ 689,71) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Milton Greene erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nelly Nyad (1952) im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.275,00 (€ 18.000,24).
