Upper estimate price exceeded by 66 %.
In October this year Bonhams in London held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Sunflower III by Joan Mitchell. The »bidding war« ended at USD 16,640.00 (€ 15,745.65), 66% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joan Mitchell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November this year with an auction result of USD 29,160,000.00 (€ 26,732,673.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 66 % übertroffen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sunflower III von Joan Mitchell zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 16.640,00 (€ 15.745,65) und damit 66% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joan Mitchell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 29.160.000,00 (€ 26.732.673,27).
