Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
In October 2021 Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Sixth Stone I (S. 6, F. 6-A) by Lee Bontecou. The »bidding war« ended at USD 6,930.00 (€ 5,998.96), 39% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lee Bontecou achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in May this year with an auction result of USD 8,690,000.00 (€ 8,156,560.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sixth Stone I (S. 6, F. 6-A) von Lee Bontecou zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 6.930,00 (€ 5.998,96) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lee Bontecou erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.690.000,00 (€ 8.156.560,92).
