Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alexander Calder achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in June last year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work Pyramids sold for GBP 6,930.00 (€ 8,050.69) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Calder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Poisson volant (Flying Fish) in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 25,925,000.00 (€ 19,006,598.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexander Calder erzielte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit Pyramids für GBP 6.930,00 (€ 8.050,69) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Calder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Poisson volant (Flying Fish) im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.925.000,00 (€ 19.006.598,24).
