Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary Day Auction, which included the work The Walrus by George Condo. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 214,200.00 (€ 253,958.21), 19% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Condo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nude and Forms in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 6,162,500.00 (€ 5,280,634.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Walrus von George Condo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 214.200,00 (€ 253.958,21) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Condo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nude and Forms im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.162.500,00 (€ 5.280.634,10).
