Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
In April this year Bonhams held the auction Made in CaliforniaContemporary Art, which included the work Inner and Outer Space by Carl Morris. The »bidding war« ended at USD 12,750.00 (€ 11,548.91), 59% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carl Morris - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Margin, 1959, which sold at auction in April this year for USD 28,050.00 (€ 25,407.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen
Im April diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Made in CaliforniaContemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Inner and Outer Space von Carl Morris zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 12.750,00 (€ 11.548,91) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Carl Morris mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Margin, 1959 beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für USD 28.050,00 (€ 25.407,61) versteigert wurde.
