Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
This work without title by Franz Kline was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 81,900.00 (€ 76,320.94), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. 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 um 26 % übertroffen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Franz Kline kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 76.320,94) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. 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).
