In November this year Christies in New York held the auction Graphic Century, which included the work A Collection Of Twenty-Two Prints From The Artist'S Canceled Plates by Edgar Degas. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,080.00 (€ 9,240.92), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edgar Degas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Petite danseuse de quatorze ans in May last year with an auction result of USD 41,610,000.00 (€ 38,775,510.20).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Graphic Century durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Collection Of Twenty-Two Prints From The Artist'S Canceled Plates von Edgar Degas zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.080,00 (€ 9.240,92) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edgar Degas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Petite danseuse de quatorze ans im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 41.610.000,00 (€ 38.775.510,20).
