Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Robert Longo could be acquired at Phillips in London in January 2024 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Men in the Cities (Gretchen and Eric) changed hands for GBP 38,100.00 (€ 63,766.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. 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 Januar 2024 bei Phillips in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wechselte die Arbeit Men in the Cities (Gretchen and Eric) für GBP 38.100,00 (€ 63.766,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. 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).
