Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (Elvis) by Keith Haring was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 239,400.00 (€ 205,546.49). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Keith Haring achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 6,537,500.00 (€ 5,818,351.73).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Elvis) von Keith Haring im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 239.400,00 (€ 205.546,49) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Keith Haring erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.537.500,00 (€ 5.818.351,73).
