Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by Robert Longo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in October last year. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Men in the Cities: Untitled IV; and Untitled V sold for USD 52,920.00 (€ 53,271.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Longo erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Men in the Cities: Untitled IV; and Untitled V für USD 52.920,00 (€ 53.271,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. 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).
