Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.

In March 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Keith Haring’s Greatest Hits: The Pop Shop Drawings, which included the work Untitled (Pop Shop Drawing) by Keith Haring. The »bidding war« ended at USD 252,000.00 (€ 214,595.93), 68% above the upper estimate. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen

Im März 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Keith Haring’s Greatest Hits: The Pop Shop Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Pop Shop Drawing) von Keith Haring zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 252.000,00 (€ 214.595,93) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
