Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work La Notte (Night) (SFE-072RC) by Sam Francis was sold in the Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD auction at Christies in New York in March this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,692.05), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sam Francis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composition in Blue and Black in November last year with an auction result of USD 13,557,500.00 (€ 13,133,294.58).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit La Notte (Night) (SFE-072RC) von Sam Francis wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Edition: New York: Featuring the Collection of Kenwal Steel in Support of GLAAD bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.692,05) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sam Francis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Composition in Blue and Black im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 13.557.500,00 (€ 13.133.294,58).
