Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Long Lines For Lee Krasner: One Print by Lee Krasner was auctioned at Christies in September 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 21,250.00 (€ 18,355.36). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lee Krasner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Eye Is The First Circle in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 11,654,000.00 (€ 10,452,955.42).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Long Lines For Lee Krasner: One Print von Lee Krasner im September 2021 bei Christies versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.250,00 (€ 18.355,36) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lee Krasner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Eye Is The First Circle im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.654.000,00 (€ 10.452.955,42).
