Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Francis Bacon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in New York in August last year. In the Prints & Multiples Summer Splash auction, the work Figure at a Washbasin (from Requiem pour la fin des temps) sold for USD 2,422.50 (€ 2,406.86) - well above the upper estimate of USD 900.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francis Bacon erzielte im August letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples Summer Splash wurde die Arbeit Figure at a Washbasin (from Requiem pour la fin des temps) für USD 2.422,50 (€ 2.406,86) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 900,00. 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).
