Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
The work Tête de clown by Bernard Buffet was sold in the Encore!Modern Art on Stage auction at Bonhams in London in December 2021. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 106,500.00 (€ 127,032.16), 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bernard Buffet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les clowns musiciens, le saxophoniste in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 16,450,000.00 (€ 1,863,306.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 106.500,00 (€ 127.032,16) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les clowns musiciens, le saxophoniste im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 16.450.000,00 (€ 1.863.306,24).
