Upper estimate price exceeded by 27 %.
In January 2024 Phillips in London held the auction Evening & Day Editions, which included the work Seated Figure (after, Study for a Portrait 1981) (S. 5, T. 15) by Francis Bacon. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,240.00 (€ 25,506.55), 27% above the upper 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 27 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2024 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening & Day Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit Seated Figure (after, Study for a Portrait 1981) (S. 5, T. 15) von Francis Bacon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 15.240,00 (€ 25.506,55) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
