Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Robert Bechtle achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September last year. In the Post-War to Present auction, the work Bolinas Garage sold for USD 88,200.00 (€ 90,156.39) - well above the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Bechtle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work '64 Chrysler, which sold at auction in November 2010 for USD 458,500.00 (€ 351,718.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Bechtle erzielte im September letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War to Present wurde die Arbeit Bolinas Garage für USD 88.200,00 (€ 90.156,39) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 40.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Bechtle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit '64 Chrysler beobachtet, die im November 2010 für USD 458.500,00 (€ 351.718,32) versteigert wurde.
