Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work June 5, 1970 (Today Series No. 102) by On Kawara was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2018. It achieved a price of USD 375,000.00 (€ 322,663.91), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. 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).

Die Arbeit June 5, 1970 (Today Series No. 102) von On Kawara kam im September 2018 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 375.000,00 (€ 322.663,91) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. 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).
