Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Bonhams in New York held the auction Post-War, Contemporary and Latin American Art Online, which included the work Untitled Joke (from the Moral Essays Portfolio) by Richard Prince. Here, the upper estimate of USD 18,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 19,062.50 (€ 17,184.26). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Prince achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Runaway Nurse in June 2021 with an auction result of HKD 93,986,000.00 (€ 10,209,316.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Post-War, Contemporary and Latin American Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled Joke (from the Moral Essays Portfolio) von Richard Prince zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 18.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 19.062,50 (€ 17.184,26) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Prince erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Runaway Nurse im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 93.986.000,00 (€ 10.209.316,51).
