Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In October 2021 Christies held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work Black and White by Franz Kline. The »bidding war« ended at USD 118,750.00 (€ 102,796.05), 19% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz Kline achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 40,402,500.00 (€ 31,054,957.72).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Oktober 2021 führte Christies die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit Black and White von Franz Kline zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 118.750,00 (€ 102.796,05) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz Kline erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 40.402.500,00 (€ 31.054.957,72).
