Upper estimate price exceeded by 65 %.
The work Figure Writing Reflected in a Mirror by Francis Bacon was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in June this year. It achieved a price of GBP 11,520.00 (€ 13,407.30), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 65%. 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 Writing Reflected in a Mirror von Francis Bacon wurde im Juni diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 11.520,00 (€ 13.407,30) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 65%. 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).
