Upper estimate price exceeded by 57 %.
In March 2021 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century Evening Sale, which included the work Portrait Du Photographe Dilewski by Amedeo Modigliani. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,402,500.00 (€ 5,171,803.41), 57% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Amedeo Modigliani achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nu Couché in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 170,405,000.00 (€ 161,337,814.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 57 % übertroffen
Im März 2021 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Du Photographe Dilewski von Amedeo Modigliani zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.402.500,00 (€ 5.171.803,41) und damit 57% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Amedeo Modigliani erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nu Couché im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 170.405.000,00 (€ 161.337.814,81).
