Upper estimate price exceeded by 92 %.
This artwork by Roy Lichtenstein achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2010. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Brushstroke Head sold for USD 230,500.00 (€ 176,818.04) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Roy Lichtenstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nurse in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 95,365,000.00 (€ 90,290,664.65).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 92 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Roy Lichtenstein erzielte im November 2010 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Brushstroke Head für USD 230.500,00 (€ 176.818,04) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Roy Lichtenstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nurse im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 95.365.000,00 (€ 90.290.664,65).
