Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work Pink Store Front, Project, from Marginalia, Homage to Shimizu by Christo was sold in the Contemporary Edition auction at Christies in New York in March last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,543.41), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 1,706,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Pink Store Front, Project, from Marginalia, Homage to Shimizu von Christo wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Edition bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.543,41) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Umbrellas (Joint project for Japan and USA) im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.706.500,00.
