Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
In October last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work New Piece by Tony Smith. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,560.00 (€ 7,610.23), 51% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Tony Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work For J.C. in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 530,500.00 (€ 369,017.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit New Piece von Tony Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 7.560,00 (€ 7.610,23) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Tony Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit For J.C. im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 530.500,00 (€ 369.017,81).
