Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September last year Christies in London held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Wallpaper With Blue Floor Interior by Roy Lichtenstein. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 63,000.00 (€ 71,700.09). 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
Im September letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Wallpaper With Blue Floor Interior von Roy Lichtenstein zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 60.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 63.000,00 (€ 71.700,09) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
