This artwork by Robert Longo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in August 2018. In the Horizon | Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Study for Hot Sun sold for USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,403.24) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Longo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Leo) in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 1,575,000.00 (€ 1,212,657.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Longo erzielte im August 2018 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Horizon | Post-War and Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Study for Hot Sun für USD 22.500,00 (€ 19.403,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Longo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Leo) im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.575.000,00 (€ 1.212.657,84).
