Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
The work Laughing Frog and His Friends by Karel Appel was sold in the Prints & Multiples auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in January 2024. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,304.00 (€ 2,013.63), 54% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Karel Appel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Two birds and a Flower in December 2012 with an auction result of EUR 841,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Laughing Frog and His Friends von Karel Appel wurde im Januar 2024 in der Auktion Prints & Multiples bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 2.304,00 (€ 2.013,63) und damit 54% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Karel Appel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Two birds and a Flower im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 841.000,00.
