Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September this year Christies in London held the auction Post-War to Present, which included the work M in Smoke by Larry Rivers. The »bidding war« ended at USD 94,500.00 (€ 89,285.71), 18% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Larry Rivers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Africa I in May 2021 with an auction result of USD 2,077,000.00 (€ 1,703,296.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War to Present durch, in der auch die Arbeit M in Smoke von Larry Rivers zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 94.500,00 (€ 89.285,71) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Larry Rivers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Africa I im Mai 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.077.000,00 (€ 1.703.296,70).
