Upper estimate price exceeded by 82 %.
This artwork by Francis Bacon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in January last year. In the Evening & Day Editions auction, the work L'Homme au lavabo (after, Figure at a Washbasin 1976) (S. 3, T. 35) sold for GBP 16,380.00 (€ 19,633.50) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 9,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Francis Bacon erzielte im Januar letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Evening & Day Editions wurde die Arbeit L'Homme au lavabo (after, Figure at a Washbasin 1976) (S. 3, T. 35) für GBP 16.380,00 (€ 19.633,50) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 9.000,00. 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).
