Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Richard Pettibone achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in July last year. In the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Roy Lichtenstein, ‘Ball of Twine’, 1963 sold for USD 47,880.00 (€ 46,931.97) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Pettibone achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Andy Warhol, "Saturday Disaster," 1964; Train Wreck; Jasper Johns, "Flag On Orange Field," 1957; Andy Warhol, "Double Elvis," 1963 (Two Times); Roy Lichtenstein, "We Rose Up Slowly," 1964; Frank Stella, "Tomlinson Court Park" 1959; Andy Warhol, "Larg in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 688,000.00 (€ 5
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Richard Pettibone erzielte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Roy Lichtenstein, ‘Ball of Twine’, 1963 für USD 47.880,00 (€ 46.931,97) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Pettibone erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Andy Warhol, "Saturday Disaster," 1964; Train Wreck; Jasper Johns, "Flag On Orange Field," 1957; Andy Warhol, "Double Elvis," 1963 (Two Times); Roy Lichtenstein, "We Rose Up Slowly," 1964; Frank Stella, "Tomlinson Court Park" 1959; Andy Warhol, "Larg im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 688.000,00 (€ 518.814,57).
