Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work Eight Cubic Rectangles (Diptych) by Sol LeWitt was auctioned at Christies in New York in November last year. It achieved a price of USD 9,450.00 (€ 9,154.32), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sol LeWitt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Wavy Brushstrokes in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 449,000.00 (€ 636,531.19).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Eight Cubic Rectangles (Diptych) von Sol LeWitt kam im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 9.154,32) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 35%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sol LeWitt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Wavy Brushstrokes im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 449.000,00 (€ 636.531,19).
