This artwork by Robert Indiana achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in January this year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Chosen Love sold for GBP 9,450.00 (€ 10,725.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Indiana achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Love in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 3,495,000.00 (€ 3,086,637.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Indiana erzielte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit Chosen Love für GBP 9.450,00 (€ 10.725,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Indiana erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Love im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.495.000,00 (€ 3.086.637,82).
