Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Works on Paper Sale, which included the work Pierrot et Arlequin à la terrasse de café by Pablo Picasso. The price achieved of USD 444,500.00 (€ 373,592.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pablo Picasso achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 179,365,000.00 (€ 163,148,080.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Works on Paper Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Pierrot et Arlequin à la terrasse de café von Pablo Picasso zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 444.500,00 (€ 373.592,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pablo Picasso erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 179.365.000,00 (€ 163.148.080,77).
