Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
This work without title by Lee Bontecou was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction at Christies in New York in November last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 189,000.00 (€ 183,086.31). 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 leicht übertroffen
Diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Lee Bontecou wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 180.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 189.000,00 (€ 183.086,31) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
