Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December last year Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Elysium by Jules Olitski. Here, the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 30,240.00 (€ 28,266.97). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jules Olitski achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Blue Crazy in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 774,000.00 (€ 634,738.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elysium von Jules Olitski zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 30.240,00 (€ 28.266,97) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jules Olitski erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Blue Crazy im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 774.000,00 (€ 634.738,40).
