In July last year Christies in New York held the auction First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Blind Time I by Robert Morris. The »bidding war« ended at USD 44,100.00 (€ 43,226.82), 47% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Morris achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 1,258,500.00 (€ 965,403.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Im Juli letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blind Time I von Robert Morris zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 43.226,82) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Morris erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.258.500,00 (€ 965.403,50).
