Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
The work Festa Major by Joan Miró was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in June last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,012.50 (€ 8,146.53), 40% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joan Miró achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Peinture (Étoile Bleue) in June 2012 with an auction result of GBP 23,561,250.00 (€ 29,174,436.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Festa Major von Joan Miró wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 7.012,50 (€ 8.146,53) und damit 40% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joan Miró erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Peinture (Étoile Bleue) im Juni 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.561.250,00 (€ 29.174.436,97).
