Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Untitled (L-Beams) by Robert Morris was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 30,240.00 (€ 25,751.51). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Untitled (L-Beams) von Robert Morris im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 30.240,00 (€ 25.751,51) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
