Upper estimate price exceeded by 36 %.
The work Triptych - August 1972 by Francis Bacon was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Christies in New York in November 2005. It achieved a price of USD 20,400.00 (€ 17,302.80), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 36%. 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 36 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Triptych - August 1972 von Francis Bacon wurde im November 2005 in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 20.400,00 (€ 17.302,80) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 36%. 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).
