Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Ocean Surface by Vija Celmins was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July last year. It achieved a price of USD 27,720.00 (€ 27,171.14), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. 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 39 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Ocean Surface von Vija Celmins kam im Juli letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 27.720,00 (€ 27.171,14) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. 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).
