Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by James Ensor achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in May this year. In the Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples auction, the work Mon portrait squelettisé (Skeletonized Self-Portrait) sold for USD 28,050.00 (€ 26,328.14) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Ensor achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Squelette Arrêtant Masquessigned Ensor And Dated 91 (Lower Right); Oil On Canvas. Painted In 1891. in December 2016 with an auction result of EUR 7,357,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von James Ensor erzielte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Prints & Multiples wurde die Arbeit Mon portrait squelettisé (Skeletonized Self-Portrait) für USD 28.050,00 (€ 26.328,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Ensor erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Squelette Arrêtant Masquessigned Ensor And Dated 91 (Lower Right); Oil On Canvas. Painted In 1891. im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 7.357.500,00.
