Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In May last year Christies in New York held the auction The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs, which included the work De ou par Marcel Duchamp ou Rrose Sélavy (La Boîte), Series C by Marcel Duchamp. The »bidding war« ended at USD 239,400.00 (€ 223,091.98), 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marcel Duchamp achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Belle haleine - Eau de voilette in February 2009 with an auction result of EUR 8,913,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs durch, in der auch die Arbeit De ou par Marcel Duchamp ou Rrose Sélavy (La Boîte), Series C von Marcel Duchamp zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 239.400,00 (€ 223.091,98) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marcel Duchamp erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Belle haleine - Eau de voilette im Februar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.913.000,00.
