This artwork by César achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2016. In the First Open | London auction, the work Portrait De Compression sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 17,576.59) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by César achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Compression "Zim"Compressed Car in December 2015 with an auction result of EUR 627,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 96 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von César erzielte im April 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open | London wurde die Arbeit Portrait De Compression für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 17.576,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von César erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Compression "Zim"Compressed Car im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 627.000,00.
