Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Robert Longo could be acquired at Phillips in New York in October 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Men in the Cities (Fifteen Photographs) changed hands for USD 27,720.00 (€ 23,995.84) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Longo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Leo) in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 1,575,000.00 (€ 1,212,657.84).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Longo konnte im Oktober 2021 bei Phillips in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wechselte die Arbeit Men in the Cities (Fifteen Photographs) für USD 27.720,00 (€ 23.995,84) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Longo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Leo) im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.575.000,00 (€ 1.212.657,84).
