Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In September 2012 Christies in London held the auction Prints & Multiples Including an Important Collection by Henry Moore, which included the work Four plates from: Jean de la Fontaine, Fables (cf. Cramer book 22) by Marc Chagall. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,450.76), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marc Chagall achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les Amoureux in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 28,453,000.00 (€ 23,914,103.21).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im September 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints & Multiples Including an Important Collection by Henry Moore durch, in der auch die Arbeit Four plates from: Jean de la Fontaine, Fables (cf. Cramer book 22) von Marc Chagall zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.450,76) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marc Chagall erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les Amoureux im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 28.453.000,00 (€ 23.914.103,21).
