Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Nana Boa (petit) by Niki de Saint Phalle was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 403,200.00 (€ 357,225.13). 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.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Nana Boa (petit) von Niki de Saint Phalle im November 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 403.200,00 (€ 357.225,13) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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.
