Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Allen Ginsberg achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October 2012. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work without title sold for USD 1,500.00 (€ 1,157.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Allen Ginsberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Selected images of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady and Peter Orlovsky, 1953-1957 in October 2008 with an auction result of USD 35,000.00 (€ 27,598.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Allen Ginsberg erzielte im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde diese Arbeit ohne Titel für USD 1.500,00 (€ 1.157,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Allen Ginsberg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Selected images of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady and Peter Orlovsky, 1953-1957 im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 27.598,17).
