Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Untitled (Head) by Francis Bacon was sold in the 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale auction at Phillips in London in March last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 772,700.00 (€ 916,122.82) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. 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).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Untitled (Head) von Francis Bacon wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale bei Phillips in London versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 772.700,00 (€ 916.122,82) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600.000,00 – 800.000,00. 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).
