Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Nu Debout (Katia) by Henri Matisse. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 85,250.00 (€ 95,104.30). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henri Matisse achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Odalisque couchée aux magnolias in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 80,750,000.00 (€ 69,194,515.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nu Debout (Katia) von Henri Matisse zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 85.250,00 (€ 95.104,30) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henri Matisse erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Odalisque couchée aux magnolias im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.750.000,00 (€ 69.194.515,85).
