A top price for Robert Longo

When the work Untitled (Leo) by Robert Longo was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 350,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 1,575,000.00 (€ 1,212,657.84). This high result makes Untitled (Leo) the most expensive artwork by Robert Longo that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Robert Longo

Als die Arbeit Untitled (Leo) von Robert Longo im Mai 2013 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 350.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 1.575.000,00 (€ 1.212.657,84) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled (Leo) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Robert Longo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
