Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Afternoon Session, which included the work No title by Eva Hesse. The »bidding war« ended at USD 37,500.00 (€ 31,517.90), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eva Hesse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work No title in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 3,980,000.00 (€ 3,569,826.89).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Afternoon Session durch, in der auch die Arbeit No title von Eva Hesse zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 31.517,90) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eva Hesse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit No title im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.980.000,00 (€ 3.569.826,89).
