A top price for Georges Vantongerloo
In February 2018 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale, which included the work Composition émanante de l'équation y=-ax2+bx+18 avec accord de orangé, vert, violet by Georges Vantongerloo. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,208,750.00 (€ 1,365,448.98). With this result, Composition émanante de l'équation y=-ax2+bx+18 avec accord de orangé, vert, violet is even the most expensive work of art by Georges Vantongerloo that we have observed at auctions so far.
