The work Satyric Festival Song, from Martha Graham by Andy Warhol was sold in the Andy Warhol at Christie's Sold to Benefit the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts auction at Christies in New York in November 2012. It achieved a price of USD 43,750.00 (€ 33,627.98), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 46%. 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 46 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Satyric Festival Song, from Martha Graham von Andy Warhol wurde im November 2012 in der Auktion Andy Warhol at Christie's Sold to Benefit the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 43.750,00 (€ 33.627,98) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 46%. 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).
