Upper estimate price exceeded by 82 %.
This artwork by Andy Warhol achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2015. In the Contemporary Art Evening Auction auction, the work Dollar Sign sold for GBP 545,000.00 (€ 772,626.95) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Andy Warhol erzielte im Juli 2015 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction wurde die Arbeit Dollar Sign für GBP 545.000,00 (€ 772.626,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 300.000,00. 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).
