The work Flowers by Andy Warhol was sold in the Post War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Christies in London in October 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 133,250.00 (€ 165,673.00), 33% above the upper estimate. 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 um 33 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Flowers von Andy Warhol wurde im Oktober 2012 in der Auktion Post War and Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 133.250,00 (€ 165.673,00) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
