Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Sueño y mentira de Franco (Planche II): one plate (see Bloch 298; Baer 616) by Pablo Picasso was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June last year. The price achieved of USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,814.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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

Die Arbeit Sueño y mentira de Franco (Planche II): one plate (see Bloch 298; Baer 616) von Pablo Picasso kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.814,21) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 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).
