Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Flowers by Andy Warhol was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction at Christies in New York in November 2015. The price achieved of USD 245,000.00 (€ 231,963.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 200,000.00 – 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Flowers von Andy Warhol wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 245.000,00 (€ 231.963,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
