Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Robert Arneson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December 2017. In the First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Right Eye Brick sold for USD 5,625.00 (€ 4,678.92) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Arneson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Audio Visual in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 87,500.00 (€ 79,588.87).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Arneson erzielte im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Right Eye Brick für USD 5.625,00 (€ 4.678,92) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Arneson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Audio Visual im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 79.588,87).
