Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Françoise Gilot achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March last year. In the (Women) Artists auction, the work Les enfants de Tunisie, Asking Alms in Tunis sold for GBP 201,600.00 (€ 239,019.49) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00. Admittedly, works by Françoise Gilot have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Living Forest in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 9,850,000.00 (€ 1,115,718.32).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Françoise Gilot erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion (Women) Artists wurde die Arbeit Les enfants de Tunisie, Asking Alms in Tunis für GBP 201.600,00 (€ 239.019,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Françoise Gilot auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Living Forest im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 9.850.000,00 (€ 1.115.718,32).
