This artwork by Andy Warhol achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in July 2020. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Mao (wallpaper) sold for USD 15,625.00 (€ 13,270.77) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Andy Warhol erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Mao (wallpaper) für USD 15.625,00 (€ 13.270,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00. 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).
