Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Alexej von Jawlensky achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Paris in December 2021. In the Art Contemporain Evening Sale / Collection Passion…Passions auction, the work Méditation sold for EUR 126,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexej von Jawlensky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat) in February 2008 with an auction result of GBP 9,428,500.00 (€ 12,332,107.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexej von Jawlensky erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in Paris einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Art Contemporain Evening Sale / Collection Passion…Passions wurde die Arbeit Méditation für EUR 126.000,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexej von Jawlensky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Schokko (Schokko Mit Tellerhut) Schokko (Schokko With Wide-Brimmed Hat) im Februar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.428.500,00 (€ 12.332.107,99).
