Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
In April this year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Bessie Smith (G. 1782, B.-W. 124) by Richard Serra. The »bidding war« ended at USD 19,685.00 (€ 17,830.62), 64% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Serra achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L.A. Cone in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 4,267,750.00 (€ 3,285,917.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
Im April diesen Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bessie Smith (G. 1782, B.-W. 124) von Richard Serra zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 19.685,00 (€ 17.830,62) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Serra erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L.A. Cone im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.267.750,00 (€ 3.285.917,77).
