Description

ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE (1946-1989)
Untitled (self-portrait), 1974
unique Polaroid print
notation 'PD68' in pencil (on the verso)
image: 3½ x 4½in. (8.8 x 11.4cm.)
sheet: 4 1/8 x 5¾in. (10.6 x 14.6cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.

The work Untitled (Self-Portrait), 1974 by Robert Mapplethorpe was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in April 2014. It achieved a price of USD 32,500.00 (€ 23,431.87), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Mapplethorpe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 548,750.00 (€ 625,682.41).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Untitled (Self-Portrait), 1974 von Robert Mapplethorpe wurde im April 2014 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 23.431,87) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 30%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Mapplethorpe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 548.750,00 (€ 625.682,41).
