Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by On Kawara achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2017. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work I Got Up sold for GBP 162,500.00 (€ 185,281.81) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by On Kawara achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Decade) in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 4,175,000.00 (€ 3,715,735.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von On Kawara erzielte im Oktober 2017 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit I Got Up für GBP 162.500,00 (€ 185.281,81) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von On Kawara erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Decade) im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.175.000,00 (€ 3.715.735,14).
