Painted in 1990

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Painting 1990 by Francis Bacon was sold in the 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in October last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000,000.00 – 9,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,102,250.00 (€ 8,274,042.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Painting 1990 von Francis Bacon wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000.000,00 – 9.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.102.250,00 (€ 8.274.042,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
