Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Night Sky 2 (Reversed) by Vija Celmins was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 6,300.00 (€ 5,870.84), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vija Celmins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Ocean) in June 2021 with an auction result of USD 7,748,000.00 (€ 6,539,500.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Night Sky 2 (Reversed) von Vija Celmins kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.300,00 (€ 5.870,84) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vija Celmins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Ocean) im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.748.000,00 (€ 6.539.500,34).
