Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Untitled (Here Sweet Marie Puck) by James Lee Byars was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in April 2016. It achieved a price of EUR 8,125.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16 %. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Lee Byars achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Figure of Death in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 761,000.00 (€ 692,195.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Here Sweet Marie Puck) von James Lee Byars kam im April 2016 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von EUR 8.125,00 und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 16 %. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Lee Byars erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Figure of Death im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 761.000,00 (€ 692.195,74).
