Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Lee Lozano achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in May 2017. In the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Untitled (Penis Thumb, Splayed Hand, Hairy Palm) sold for USD 26,250.00 (€ 23,362.41) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lee Lozano achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work No title in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 602,500.00 (€ 462,181.65).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lee Lozano erzielte im Mai 2017 bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Untitled (Penis Thumb, Splayed Hand, Hairy Palm) für USD 26.250,00 (€ 23.362,41) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lee Lozano erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit No title im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 602.500,00 (€ 462.181,65).
