Upper estimate price exceeded by 69 %.
The work Vita silente by Giorgio de Chirico was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art auction at Bonhams in April this year. It achieved a price of GBP 101,100.00 (€ 115,221.03), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 69%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giorgio de Chirico achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Il Pomeriggio Di Arianna (Ariadne’S Afternoon) in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 15,890,400.00 (€ 13,643,341.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 69 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Vita silente von Giorgio de Chirico wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 101.100,00 (€ 115.221,03) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 69%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giorgio de Chirico erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Il Pomeriggio Di Arianna (Ariadne’S Afternoon) im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.890.400,00 (€ 13.643.341,63).
