Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Coney Island by Red Grooms was sold in the Contemporary Edition auction at Christies in New York in March last year. It achieved a price of USD 1,512.00 (€ 1,363.02), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Red Grooms achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Joltin' Joe Takes a Swing in May 2001 with an auction result of USD 70,500.00 (€ 83,382.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Coney Island von Red Grooms wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Edition bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.512,00 (€ 1.363,02) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Red Grooms erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Joltin' Joe Takes a Swing im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.500,00 (€ 83.382,61).
