Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Box #40 von Lucas Samaras kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 302.400,00 (€ 281.800,39) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 21%. Für andere Arbeiten von Lucas Samaras mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Box #119 beobachtet, die im März 2021 für USD 662.500,00 (€ 564.165,89) versteigert wurde.
