Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In April last year Phillips in New York held the auction Editions & Works on Paper, which included the work Sans le soleil, malgré les autres astres, il ferait nuit, Héraclite d'Éphèse (Without the Sun, Despite the Other Stars, it Would be Night, by Heraclitus of Ephesus) (D. 398-409, C. bks 98) by Joan Miró. The »bidding war« ended at USD 20,160.00 (€ 19,132.58), 68% 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 68 % übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Editions & Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sans le soleil, malgré les autres astres, il ferait nuit, Héraclite d'Éphèse (Without the Sun, Despite the Other Stars, it Would be Night, by Heraclitus of Ephesus) (D. 398-409, C. bks 98) von Joan Miró zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 20.160,00 (€ 19.132,58) und damit 68% 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).
