Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
This work without title by Vija Celmins was sold in the Contemporary Discoveries auction at Sothebys in New York in July last year. It achieved a price of USD 15,120.00 (€ 14,820.62), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. 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 51 % übertroffen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Vija Celmins wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Discoveries bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 15.120,00 (€ 14.820,62) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 51%. 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).
