Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
In January 2024 Bonhams in Skinner Boston held the auction Prints & Photographs, which included the work Three Figures by Robert Motherwell. The »bidding war« ended at USD 16,640.00 (€ 14,542.91), 39% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2024 führte Bonhams in Skinner Boston die Auktion Prints & Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three Figures von Robert Motherwell zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 16.640,00 (€ 14.542,91) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
