This artwork by Sol LeWitt achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March this year. In the First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online auction, the work R 707 Map of London 2 - Area of London with St. James Park Hyde Park and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park removed sold for GBP 11,340.00 (€ 12,901.44) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sol LeWitt erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online wurde die Arbeit R 707 Map of London 2 - Area of London with St. James Park Hyde Park and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park removed für GBP 11.340,00 (€ 12.901,44) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. 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).
