Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
The work Seeing Eyes by Karel Appel was sold in the Prints & Multiples Summer Splash auction at Bonhams in New York in August last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,083.75 (€ 1,076.75), 35% 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 35 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Seeing Eyes von Karel Appel wurde im August letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints & Multiples Summer Splash bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.083,75 (€ 1.076,75) und damit 35% 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.
