Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Picasso in Profile by Cecil Beaton was sold in the Picassomania auction at Bonhams in London in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,080.00 (€ 4,799.73), 36% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cecil Beaton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, 1963 in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 106,360.58).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Picasso in Profile von Cecil Beaton wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Picassomania bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.080,00 (€ 4.799,73) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cecil Beaton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, 1963 im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 93.750,00 (€ 106.360,58).
