Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In June last year Sothebys in Paris held the auction Art Contemporain Evening Auction, which included this untitled work by Jean-Paul Riopelle. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 630,000.00 47% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Jean-Paul Riopelle have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sans Titre in December 2017 with an auction result of EUR 4,882,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion Art Contemporain Evening Auction durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Jean-Paul Riopelle zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 630.000,00 und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jean-Paul Riopelle auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sans Titre im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 4.882.500,00.
