Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2014 Christies in London held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Suite Catalana, Las Estampas de la Cometa; Gustavo Gili, Barcelona, 1972 (Galfetti 302-306) by Antoni Tàpies. The price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,890.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Suite Catalana, Las Estampas de la Cometa; Gustavo Gili, Barcelona, 1972 (Galfetti 302-306) von Antoni Tàpies zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.890,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
