Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Allen Jones achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October this year. In the Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale auction, the work Untitled (self portrait) sold for GBP 163,800.00 (€ 188,087.91) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Allen Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hatstand, Table And Chair (I) Hatstand (Ii) Table (Iii) Chair in February 2013 with an auction result of GBP 2,169,250.00 (€ 2,519,706.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Allen Jones erzielte im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Untitled (self portrait) für GBP 163.800,00 (€ 188.087,91) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Allen Jones erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hatstand, Table And Chair (I) Hatstand (Ii) Table (Iii) Chair im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.169.250,00 (€ 2.519.706,86).
