Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
In October 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art, which included the work Two Women At A Window by Mark Rothko. The »bidding war« ended at USD 138,600.00 (€ 119,000.60), 73% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mark Rothko achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work No. 10 in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 81,925,000.00 (€ 74,517,918.86).

Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Women At A Window von Mark Rothko zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 138.600,00 (€ 119.000,60) und damit 73% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mark Rothko erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit No. 10 im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 81.925.000,00 (€ 74.517.918,86).
