Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
In October 2020 Christies in New York held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work The Moment, from Four on Plexiglas by Barnett Newman. The »bidding war« ended at USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,025.33), 46% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barnett Newman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black Fire I in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 84,165,000.00 (€ 61,704,545.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Moment, from Four on Plexiglas von Barnett Newman zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.025,33) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barnett Newman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black Fire I im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 84.165.000,00 (€ 61.704.545,45).
