Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.
The work Figure at a Washbasin (from Requiem pour la fin des temps) by Francis Bacon was sold in the Deck the WallsPrints & Multiples auction at Bonhams in New York in December 2021. It achieved a price of USD 1,275.00 (€ 1,126.52), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Bacon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three Studies Of Lucian Freud in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 142,405,000.00 (€ 104,663,383.80).

Die Arbeit Figure at a Washbasin (from Requiem pour la fin des temps) von Francis Bacon wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Deck the WallsPrints & Multiples bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.275,00 (€ 1.126,52) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 42%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Bacon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Three Studies Of Lucian Freud im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 142.405.000,00 (€ 104.663.383,80).
