Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ruth, From: Black Dress by Alex Katz was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Christies in London in April 2021. The price achieved of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,254.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alex Katz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Blue Umbrella I in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 3,375,000.00 (€ 3,914,757.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ruth, From: Black Dress von Alex Katz wurde im April 2021 in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.254,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alex Katz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Blue Umbrella I im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.375.000,00 (€ 3.914.757,96).
