Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Clown aux tasses à café by Bernard Buffet was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) auction at Christies in Shanghai in September 2019. The price achieved of CNY 4,560,000.00 (€ 585,001.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as CNY 3,800,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bernard Buffet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Les clowns musiciens, le saxophoniste, which sold at auction in December 2021 for HKD 16,450,000.00 (€ 1,863,306.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Clown aux tasses à café von Bernard Buffet wurde im September 2019 in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art (Evening Sale) bei Christies in Shanghai versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von CNY 4.560.000,00 (€ 585.001,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit CNY 3.800.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Bernard Buffet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Les clowns musiciens, le saxophoniste beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für HKD 16.450.000,00 (€ 1.863.306,24) versteigert wurde.
