Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
In June 2020 Sothebys in Paris held the auction Important Design, which included the work Sun Carpet by Ettore Sottsass. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 8,750.00 46% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ettore Sottsass achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composizione di elementi di legno colorato e specchio, il tutto unito da funi di canapa, designed for Galleria Arform, Milan in April 2018 with an auction result of GBP 309,000.00 (€ 351,918.09).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2020 führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion Important Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sun Carpet von Ettore Sottsass zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 8.750,00 und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ettore Sottsass erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Composizione di elementi di legno colorato e specchio, il tutto unito da funi di canapa, designed for Galleria Arform, Milan im April 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 309.000,00 (€ 351.918,09).
