Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.

The work Piece for Tropic by Robert Rauschenberg was sold in the Prints & Multiples Summer Splash auction at Bonhams in New York in August last year. It achieved a price of USD 1,530.00 (€ 1,520.12), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Rauschenberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Buffalo Ii in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 88,805,000.00 (€ 79,652,883.67).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Piece for Tropic von Robert Rauschenberg wurde im August letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints & Multiples Summer Splash bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.530,00 (€ 1.520,12) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Rauschenberg erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Buffalo Ii im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 88.805.000,00 (€ 79.652.883,67).
