Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2002 Christies in New York held the auction Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Prints, which included the work Visage de trois-quarts (D. 273) by Henri Matisse. The »bidding war« ended at USD 7,170.00 (€ 7,677.48), 20% above the upper estimate. 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 Mai 2002 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Visage de trois-quarts (D. 273) von Henri Matisse zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 7.170,00 (€ 7.677,48) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
