Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
In June 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale, which included the work Femme à sa toilette by Edgar Degas. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,951,000.00 (€ 2,273,422.18), 30% 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 30 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Femme à sa toilette von Edgar Degas zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.951.000,00 (€ 2.273.422,18) und damit 30% 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).
