Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mirror #9 by Roy Lichtenstein was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 6,069,500.00 (€ 5,656,043.24). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mirror #9 von Roy Lichtenstein im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 6.069.500,00 (€ 5.656.043,24) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
