Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Maurits Cornelis Escher achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2021. In the Prints & Multiples auction, the work Up And Down sold for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,508.73) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maurits Cornelis Escher achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reptiles (Bool 327) in April last year with an auction result of USD 756,000.00 (€ 717,471.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Maurits Cornelis Escher erzielte im April 2021 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples wurde die Arbeit Up And Down für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 34.508,73) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maurits Cornelis Escher erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reptiles (Bool 327) im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 756.000,00 (€ 717.471,77).
