Upper estimate price exceeded by 48 %.
The work Mao by Andy Warhol was sold in the Contemporary Art Evening Auction auction at Sothebys in London in October 2014. It achieved a price of GBP 962,500.00 (€ 1,228,973.46), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 48%. 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 48 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Mao von Andy Warhol wurde im Oktober 2014 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Evening Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 962.500,00 (€ 1.228.973,46) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 48%. 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).
