Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Erg XXIII And Erg XVIII by Alexander Liberman was auctioned at Christies in June 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 30,000.00 (€ 25,320.73). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alexander Liberman; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Solstice Vii sold at auction in March 2017 with the realized price of USD 40,000.00 (€ 37,390.17).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Erg XXIII And Erg XVIII von Alexander Liberman im Juni 2021 bei Christies versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 30.000,00 (€ 25.320,73) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Alexander Liberman; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Solstice Vii im März 2017 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 40.000,00 (€ 37.390,17).
