Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In November this year Christies in New York held the auction Graphic Century, which included the work Deep Sun by Helen Frankenthaler. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,820.00 (€ 8,085.81), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Helen Frankenthaler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Royal Fireworks in June 2020 with an auction result of USD 7,895,300.00 (€ 7,029,917.19).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Graphic Century durch, in der auch die Arbeit Deep Sun von Helen Frankenthaler zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.820,00 (€ 8.085,81) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Helen Frankenthaler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Royal Fireworks im Juni 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.895.300,00 (€ 7.029.917,19).
