Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In September 2005 Christies in New York held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work LOVE by Robert Indiana. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,640.00 (€ 2,189.42), 47% above the upper estimate. 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 47 % übertroffen
Im September 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit LOVE von Robert Indiana zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 2.640,00 (€ 2.189,42) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
