Upper estimate price exceeded by 52 %.
The work 11 Stones by John Cage was sold in the Evening & Day Editions auction at Phillips in London in June this year. It achieved a price of GBP 3,048.00 (€ 3,547.35), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 52%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Cage achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The First Meeting of the Satie Society in March 2011 with an auction result of USD 116,500.00 (€ 82,140.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 52 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit 11 Stones von John Cage wurde im Juni diesen Jahres in der Auktion Evening & Day Editions bei Phillips in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 3.048,00 (€ 3.547,35) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 52%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Cage erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The First Meeting of the Satie Society im März 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 116.500,00 (€ 82.140,59).
