Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by Roy Lichtenstein achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in June last year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Les nymphéas (The Water Lilies) (C. 280) sold for GBP 52,920.00 (€ 61,477.99) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roy Lichtenstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nurse in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 95,365,000.00 (€ 90,290,664.65).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Roy Lichtenstein erzielte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit Les nymphéas (The Water Lilies) (C. 280) für GBP 52.920,00 (€ 61.477,99) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roy Lichtenstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nurse im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 95.365.000,00 (€ 90.290.664,65).
