Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Sam Francis achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in April last year. In the Prints & Multiples auction, the work Lyre Eight (Lembeck L.S5) sold for USD 15,120.00 (€ 14,349.44) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sam Francis erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples wurde die Arbeit Lyre Eight (Lembeck L.S5) für USD 15.120,00 (€ 14.349,44) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. 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).
