Upper estimate price exceeded by 55 %.
The work Rotoreliefs (Optical Discs) by Marcel Duchamp was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June last year. It achieved a price of GBP 10,837.50 (€ 12,590.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 55%. 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 55 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Rotoreliefs (Optical Discs) von Marcel Duchamp kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 10.837,50 (€ 12.590,09) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 55%. 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.
