Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work Maquette for Mosaic Mural, Sheraton Towers, Chicago by György Kepes was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in November last year. It achieved a price of USD 1,083.75 (€ 1,049.84), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by György Kepes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2020 with an auction result of USD 23,825.00 (€ 21,467.83).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Maquette for Mosaic Mural, Sheraton Towers, Chicago von György Kepes wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.083,75 (€ 1.049,84) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 35%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von György Kepes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.825,00 (€ 21.467,83).
