Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
The work Hommage à Yves Klein by Arman was sold in the The Astute EyeContemporary Art from a Private London Collector Online auction at Bonhams in London in November last year. It achieved a price of GBP 28,020.00 (€ 32,468.78), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 40%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Accord Majeur, 1962 in January 2008 with an auction result of EUR 371,760.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Hommage à Yves Klein von Arman wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion The Astute EyeContemporary Art from a Private London Collector Online bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 28.020,00 (€ 32.468,78) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 40%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Accord Majeur, 1962 im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 371.760,00.
