Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
This work without title by Robert Morris was worth USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,446.54) to a buyer in July 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Colossal! Monumental Works from the 1980s at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Morris achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 1,258,500.00 (€ 965,403.50).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.258.500,00 (€ 965.403,50).
