In February 2020 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper, which included the work Madonna Immaculata, after El Greco by Helene Schjerfbeck. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 112,500.00 (€ 130,387.76), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Helene Schjerfbeck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tanssiaiskengät; Balskorna (Dancing Shoes) in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 3,044,500.00 (€ 3,872,737.05).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Madonna Immaculata, after El Greco von Helene Schjerfbeck zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 130.387,76) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Helene Schjerfbeck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tanssiaiskengät; Balskorna (Dancing Shoes) im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.044.500,00 (€ 3.872.737,05).
