Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Hollywood by Ed Ruscha was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2019. Here, the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 137,500.00 (€ 126,088.95). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ed Ruscha achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hurting the Word Radio #2 in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 52,485,000.00 (€ 47,631,364.01).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Hollywood von Ed Ruscha kam im September 2019 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 137.500,00 (€ 126.088,95) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ed Ruscha erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hurting the Word Radio #2 im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 52.485.000,00 (€ 47.631.364,01).
