Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In February 2013 Phillips in London held the auction Evening Editions, which included the work News, Mews, Pews, Brews, Stews & Dues by Ed Ruscha. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,423.35), 25% above the upper estimate. 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 um 25 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2013 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit News, Mews, Pews, Brews, Stews & Dues von Ed Ruscha zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.423,35) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
