Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Red Wall by Robert Motherwell was auctioned at Christies in New York in May this year. The price achieved of USD 1,865,000.00 (€ 1,750,516.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Robert Motherwell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 The Red Wall von Robert Motherwell kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.865.000,00 (€ 1.750.516,24) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Motherwell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit At Five in the Afternoon im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.690.000,00 (€ 10.874.035,99).
