Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.

The work How Sweet It Is by Robert Crumb was auctioned at Phillips in London in February 2009. It achieved a price of GBP 4,625.00 (€ 5,214.54), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 54%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Crumb achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Vulture Goddess in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 221,000.00 (€ 177,681.30).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit How Sweet It Is von Robert Crumb kam im Februar 2009 bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.625,00 (€ 5.214,54) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 54%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Crumb erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Vulture Goddess im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 221.000,00 (€ 177.681,30).
