Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
In April 2020 Phillips in an online auction held the auction Hard-Edged: Online Auction, which included the work 'Semi-metal' chair, model no. 306 by Jean Prouvé. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,379.28), 39% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Prouvé achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 6X6 Demountable House in October 2019 with an auction result of HKD 4,375,000.00 (€ 500,056.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im April 2020 führte Phillips in einer Online-Auktion die Auktion Hard-Edged: Online Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Semi-metal' chair, model no. 306 von Jean Prouvé zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.379,28) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Prouvé erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 6X6 Demountable House im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 4.375.000,00 (€ 500.056,03).
