Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by George McNeil achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October 2013. In the Interiors auction, the work Demonic Disco sold for USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,195.23) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George McNeil - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Holiday, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 27,400.00 (€ 18,462.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George McNeil erzielte im Oktober 2013 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Interiors wurde die Arbeit Demonic Disco für USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.195,23) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George McNeil mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Holiday beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für USD 27.400,00 (€ 18.462,37) versteigert wurde.
