Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When the work Paloma Pop by Françoise Gilot was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 40,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 327,600.00 (€ 388,406.67). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Françoise Gilot - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Living Forest, which sold at auction in December 2021 for HKD 9,850,000.00 (€ 1,115,718.32).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Paloma Pop von Françoise Gilot im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 40.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 327.600,00 (€ 388.406,67) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Françoise Gilot mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Living Forest beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für HKD 9.850.000,00 (€ 1.115.718,32) versteigert wurde.
