Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Max Ernst achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November this year. In the Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II auction, the work Deux et deux font un sold for USD 327,600 (€ 286,314) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Max Ernst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le roi jouant avec la reine in November this year with an auction result of USD 24,435,000 (€ 21,355,532).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Max Ernst erzielte im November diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection Part II wurde die Arbeit Deux et deux font un für USD 327.600 (€ 286.314) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 120.000. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Max Ernst erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le roi jouant avec la reine im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 24.435.000 (€ 21.355.532).
