Auction result well in line with expectations

In November 2021 Christies in New York held the auction 20th Century Evening Sale, which included the work Berkeley #16 by Richard Diebenkorn. The price achieved of USD 6,390,000.00 (€ 5,661,380.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,500,000.00 – 7,500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Richard Diebenkorn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Recollections of a Visit to Leningrad in November this year with an auction result of USD 46,410,000.00 (€ 42,546,754.68).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion 20th Century Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Berkeley #16 von Richard Diebenkorn zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.390.000,00 (€ 5.661.380,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.500.000,00 – 7.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Richard Diebenkorn auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Recollections of a Visit to Leningrad im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.410.000,00 (€ 42.546.754,68).
