In May 2011 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session, which included the work Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by Andy Warhol. The »bidding war« ended at USD 386,500.00 (€ 268,850.86), 38% 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 38 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2011 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kareem Abdul-Jabbar von Andy Warhol zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 386.500,00 (€ 268.850,86) und damit 38% 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).
