Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Symétrique noir (G. 957) by Antoni Tàpies was worth USD 4,750.00 (€ 3,127.67) to a buyer in February 2008. This price was achieved in the auction Prints & Multiples at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 1,200.00 many times over. 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Symétrique noir (G. 957) von Antoni Tàpies war einem Käufer im Februar 2008 USD 4.750,00 (€ 3.127,67) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Christies in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
