Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In November this year Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper Sale, which included the work Study for the Rockefeller Stairway Mural Commission by Fernand Léger. The »bidding war« ended at USD 37,800.00 (€ 34,653.47), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fernand Léger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Contraste de formes in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 70,062,500.00 (€ 58,885,947.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for the Rockefeller Stairway Mural Commission von Fernand Léger zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 37.800,00 (€ 34.653,47) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fernand Léger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Contraste de formes im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.062.500,00 (€ 58.885.947,22).
