Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Men in the Cities (Meryl and Jonathan) by Robert Longo was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2024. It achieved a price of GBP 69,850.00 (€ 116,905.04), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Men in the Cities (Meryl and Jonathan) von Robert Longo kam im Januar 2024 bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 69.850,00 (€ 116.905,04) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 16%. 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).
