Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In October last year Christies in London held the auction First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online, which included the work Map of London with The City of London Removed by Sol LeWitt. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,820.00 (€ 10,275.20), 47% 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Map of London with The City of London Removed von Sol LeWitt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.820,00 (€ 10.275,20) und damit 47% 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).
