Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In March last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary Day Auction, which included the work Danse macabre I by Georges Rouault. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 18,900.00 (€ 22,408.08), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georges Rouault achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fleurs décoratives in May 2001 with an auction result of USD 644,000.00 (€ 761,679.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Danse macabre I von Georges Rouault zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 18.900,00 (€ 22.408,08) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georges Rouault erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fleurs décoratives im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 644.000,00 (€ 761.679,48).
