Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Niki de Saint Phalle achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2021. In the Contemporary Day Auction auction, the work La Cabeza sold for USD 302,400.00 (€ 267,918.84) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Niki de Saint Phalle - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nana Danseuse Noire (Grande Danseuse Negresse) - Circa 1968, which sold at auction in December 2015 for EUR 961,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Niki de Saint Phalle erzielte im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Day Auction wurde die Arbeit La Cabeza für USD 302.400,00 (€ 267.918,84) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Niki de Saint Phalle mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nana Danseuse Noire (Grande Danseuse Negresse) - Circa 1968 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2015 für EUR 961.500,00 versteigert wurde.
