Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Michelangelo Pistoletto achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2012. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session auction, the work Mirror with Lamp sold for USD 374,500.00 (€ 302,895.50) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michelangelo Pistoletto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Uomo che guarda un negativo (Man Looking at a Negative) in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 3,721,250.00 (€ 4,242,953.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Michelangelo Pistoletto erzielte im Mai 2012 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Morning Session wurde die Arbeit Mirror with Lamp für USD 374.500,00 (€ 302.895,50) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michelangelo Pistoletto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Uomo che guarda un negativo (Man Looking at a Negative) im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.721.250,00 (€ 4.242.953,40).
