Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Red Sea Iii by Robert Motherwell was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Christies in New York in October last year. The price achieved of USD 15,120.00 (€ 15,220.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Red Sea Iii von Robert Motherwell wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 15.120,00 (€ 15.220,46) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
