Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Still life with blue curtain (recto); Still life with green curtain (verso) by Françoise Gilot was worth USD 19,125.00 (€ 17,822.20) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction Impressionist & Modern Art at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Françoise Gilot achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Living Forest in December 2021 with an auction result of HKD 9,850,000.00 (€ 1,115,718.32).

Die Arbeit Still life with blue curtain (recto); Still life with green curtain (verso) von Françoise Gilot war einem Käufer im Mai letzten Jahres USD 19.125,00 (€ 17.822,20) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Françoise Gilot erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Living Forest im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 9.850.000,00 (€ 1.115.718,32).
