Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
In February 2016 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art & Picasso Ceramics, which included the work Etude pour la contemplation by Albert Gleizes. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,406.88), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Albert Gleizes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le chemin (Meudon) in June 2010 with an auction result of GBP 1,833,250.00 (€ 2,229,402.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art & Picasso Ceramics durch, in der auch die Arbeit Etude pour la contemplation von Albert Gleizes zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.406,88) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Albert Gleizes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le chemin (Meudon) im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.833.250,00 (€ 2.229.402,63).
