Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Cantaloupes II, from Space Fruit: Still Lifes by Andy Warhol was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2012. It achieved a price of USD 21,250.00 (€ 16,333.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andy Warhol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shot Sage Blue Marilyn in May last year with an auction result of USD 195,040,000.00 (€ 181,753,797.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Cantaloupes II, from Space Fruit: Still Lifes von Andy Warhol kam im November 2012 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 21.250,00 (€ 16.333,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andy Warhol erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shot Sage Blue Marilyn im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 195.040.000,00 (€ 181.753.797,41).
