Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Richard Diebenkorn achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2021. In the Fields of Vision: The Private Collection of Artists Wolf Kahn and Emily Mason Live Sale auction, the work Cups Ii sold for USD 1,470,000.00 (€ 1,205,510.91) - well above the upper estimate of USD 700,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Diebenkorn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Richard Diebenkorn erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fields of Vision: The Private Collection of Artists Wolf Kahn and Emily Mason Live Sale wurde die Arbeit Cups Ii für USD 1.470.000,00 (€ 1.205.510,91) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 700.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Diebenkorn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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).
