Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Miroir de la tauromachie (Mirror of the Bullfight) (S. 29-30, T. 37) by Francis Bacon was auctioned at Phillips in London in January last year. It achieved a price of GBP 57,960.00 (€ 69,472.39), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 16%. 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Miroir de la tauromachie (Mirror of the Bullfight) (S. 29-30, T. 37) von Francis Bacon kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 57.960,00 (€ 69.472,39) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 16%. 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).
