Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Le Philosophe (the Philosopher) by Karel Appel was sold in the Prints & Multiples Summer Splash auction at Bonhams in New York in August last year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 900.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 1,020.00 (€ 1,013.41). 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 leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Le Philosophe (the Philosopher) von Karel Appel wurde im August letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints & Multiples Summer Splash bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 900,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 1.020,00 (€ 1.013,41) einen neuen Besitzer. 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.
