Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
The work The Bigg Chill; Maltese Falcon; and Risky Business by Alex Israel was auctioned at Phillips in New York in June this year. It achieved a price of USD 19,050.00 (€ 17,445.05), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 59%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alex Israel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sky Backdrop in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 1,025,000.00 (€ 751,466.28).

Die Arbeit The Bigg Chill; Maltese Falcon; and Risky Business von Alex Israel kam im Juni diesen Jahres bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 19.050,00 (€ 17.445,05) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 59%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alex Israel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sky Backdrop im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.025.000,00 (€ 751.466,28).
