Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Cub by Antoni Tàpies was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 61,250.00 (€ 72,147.38), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 36%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Antoni Tàpies achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gran ocra amb incisions (Large Ochre with Incisions) in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 1,650,500.00 (€ 2,081,799.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Cub von Antoni Tàpies kam im Februar 2011 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 61.250,00 (€ 72.147,38) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 36%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Antoni Tàpies erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gran ocra amb incisions (Large Ochre with Incisions) im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.650.500,00 (€ 2.081.799,44).
