Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Philip Guston achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March last year. In the Post-War to Present auction, the work Sleeper III sold for USD 302,400.00 (€ 272,604.35) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Philip Guston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Strong Light in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 24,393,000.00 (€ 21,611,588.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Philip Guston erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War to Present wurde die Arbeit Sleeper III für USD 302.400,00 (€ 272.604,35) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Philip Guston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Strong Light im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 24.393.000,00 (€ 21.611.588,55).
