The work Red Samurai, from Octavio Paz by Robert Motherwell was auctioned at Bonhams in Paris in October this year. It achieved a price of USD 3,840.00 (€ 3,633.61), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Motherwell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work At Five in the Afternoon in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 12,690,000.00 (€ 10,874,035.99).

Die Arbeit Red Samurai, from Octavio Paz von Robert Motherwell kam im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Paris zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 3.840,00 (€ 3.633,61) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Motherwell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit At Five in the Afternoon im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.690.000,00 (€ 10.874.035,99).
