Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
In January this year Phillips in London held the auction Evening & Day Editions, which included the work Tête sur fond noir (Head on a Black Background) (Bl. 742, M. 241) by Pablo Picasso. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,680.00 (€ 25,742.16), 51% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Im Januar diesen Jahres führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening & Day Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tête sur fond noir (Head on a Black Background) (Bl. 742, M. 241) von Pablo Picasso zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.680,00 (€ 25.742,16) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
