Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Antoni Tàpies achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February 2012. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Quadriculado y lápiz sobre rojos (Gridpattern and Pencil on Reds) sold for GBP 58,850.00 (€ 70,268.46) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Antoni Tàpies erzielte im Februar 2012 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Quadriculado y lápiz sobre rojos (Gridpattern and Pencil on Reds) für GBP 58.850,00 (€ 70.268,46) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. 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).
