Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In October last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Geometric Figures Within Geometric Figures, plates #31-36 (see K. 1976.07) by Sol LeWitt. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,560.00 (€ 7,610.23), 26% above the upper estimate. 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).

Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Geometric Figures Within Geometric Figures, plates #31-36 (see K. 1976.07) von Sol LeWitt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 7.560,00 (€ 7.610,23) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
