Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Modern Head 5, from Modern Head series by Roy Lichtenstein was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in June last year. It achieved a price of GBP 14,025.00 (€ 16,293.06), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 17%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Modern Head 5, from Modern Head series von Roy Lichtenstein wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 14.025,00 (€ 16.293,06) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 17%. 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).
