A top price for Frank Sinatra

When this work without title by Frank Sinatra was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 100,000.00 (€ 87,290.50). This high result makes the work without title the most expensive artwork by Frank Sinatra that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Frank Sinatra

Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Frank Sinatra im Dezember 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.000,00 (€ 87.290,50) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht das Werk ohne Titel zum teuersten Kunstwerk von Frank Sinatra, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
