In May this year Christies in New York held the auction 20th Century Evening Sale, which included the work White Calico Rose by Georgia O'Keeffe. The »bidding war« ended at USD 13,060,000.00 (€ 12,258,306.74), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Georgia O'Keeffe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1, which sold at auction in November 2014 for USD 44,405,000.00 (€ 35,701,077.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion 20th Century Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit White Calico Rose von Georgia O'Keeffe zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 13.060.000,00 (€ 12.258.306,74) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Georgia O'Keeffe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 beobachtet, die im November 2014 für USD 44.405.000,00 (€ 35.701.077,34) versteigert wurde.
